Hey Paul,
Welcome to Allmetalshaping, We call them flippers in Australia and as David said they are easily made. I have made all of mine from files of different sorts, a second cut file about 14" long cut and bent will do also. I leave the teeth on too, it helps to see where you have been the marks are easily filed off later. Half round files are also good for different applications and for chasing in a radius, you can also sand off the teeth for a smooth flipper if a smooth finish is desired.
