12" x size L, M or N Tunisian crochet hook, metal , not wood

I've been searching the web, and stores like Moore's and Michael's. The store staff usually have no idea what I'm talking about.
I can't find anyone on the web who sells large Tunisian hooks in anything but wood or bamboo.

Anyone know of a source I might have missed?

thanks to all of you happy hookers

I've seen them at places like Tuesday Morning. I've seen them called afghan crochet hooks, so maybe use that in a search on Amazon. Also try blitsy.com they have lots of great craft items for really cheap.

Addi makes crochet hooks for their interchangeable system. The smaller sizes are metal, but for anything larger than 6.0 mm, they make them out of plastic. I guess they get too heavy if the larger sizes are made of metal. If you are interested in them, probably the best place to find them is on eBay.

Tunisian crochet is my jam! I love it. You can get metal and plastic hooks and the uber rare circulars in most sizes in metal and plastic from Herrchners for reasonable prices. Susan bates carries them and other suppliers as well.

here's a quick search: https://www.herrschners.com/category/herrschners/knit+and+crochet/crochet.do?c=5.100059.100896.100898&brand_name=Susan+Bates%26%23174%3B&pp=12&sortby=newArrivalsDescend&cx=0

thank you everyone for your suggestions.
Looks like I've got a bit of on-line searching to do.
