It's almost Archaeological Trowel,various sizes available, I got one, made mine from a very worn pointing trowel, why waste a old trowel.

Same as Kiab in a way but handed down to me by my grandfather and father.

 

Pretty sure it is a Frenchman knife.

 

Didn't look at the whole video, bt the tools later looks like type a Frenchman Knife.



Here below are homemade varitions of a Frenchman Knife, made from buter knives.

 

Give Woonkeedonkee a call tomorrow.
There is a firm called speedex but they are in Australia,although they do post here.

 

Very hard to source proper Tuck Irons here, USA, Australia, loads available.

Look at these linkys.

Yanks are spoilt for choice with regard to tools.

Your local engineer should be able to knock that up for a pint.

 

Simple job.

P:S: Speedex UK distibutor unlikely I expect, shame, but it's specialised tools, so limited market.

Got pictures on their site,you have dimensions, so should be easy to get one fabricated as Chips suggested.
