Try Blackberry Lane website. They are in Devon. They have a thing called a four tine tiller which looks similar but, of course, has four rather than three tines.
I am currently waiting to receive one of their Korean Ho-Mi hand tools and they seem to be a nice, friendly, helpful lot.
Its a long handled thing i have seen simlar four pronged ones but the guy wants a three pronged one
Do you have a blacksmith in your area? We are lucky and have one nearby. He can make just about anything but only works locally (and very slowly).
Google "3 tine cultivator uk" - there are one or two long-handled ones which might be suitable - ones by Wilkinson Sword and Spear & Jackson for example.
argos,homebase and wilkinsons (wilko) sell them.
argos had them on offer last week
Hi Paul, what a challenge you have set.
As an alternative to the suggestions above, try the Canterbury Fork Hoe

(but please note I cannot comment on the company because I have never used it).

In Norfolk and Suffolk it's known as a Crome and used for pulling manure from off the horsedrawn tumbril when spreading farmyard manure on the fields.
If you scroll down on this site http://www.get-digging.co.uk/tools.htm you'l see a Long Draw Form or Crome.
