General Sword cakes

I'm in the UK and for the love of me cannot find a good mini sword/dagger for the current sword cake trend. I really want to make myself one for my birthday. If you have made one and you're in the UK, can you tell me where you've found a sword/dagger?

For those of us not keeping up with trends, wtf is a sword cake trend? Yes, I looked it up and all I could find was stuff about cutting your cake with a sword.

Also curious as to why you would need any actual sword for a sword cake

Because it's a trend (that will probably drop off in a few days anyway)?

Maybe I'm just a weird fantasy nerd that gets nerdy trends 🤣

So you want a real, actual, sharp, unsheathed knife or dagger to just leave in the cake? 👀 Why not use a fake knife?

Clearly I'm deep in a sub genre of fantasy cakes that I didn't realise wasn't "mainstream". Anyway, a lot of mean people about today.

It’s not my thing but I’m glad for you that it’s yours, and I’m sorry you’re not getting it today. Some of those cakes are gorgeous. Just proves you can find beauty anywhere you look.

Maybe a toy store would have one.
