Does anyone know where I can find jutte with a tapered 6-sided shaft?

Never seen one for sale as a standard item. I'd suggest you find a
blacksmith and have him make it for you. Might be $$, though, as that
task will be rather time consuming, especially if a finer finish is
desired. I don't think I'd make such a thing for less than $500. I
don't think it would be worth the time for less than that, but you may
find a good smith that would feel otherwise. It's a simple thing to
make, but takes a lot of time to do right. But if you're willing to
spend the money, you should be able to get precisely what you want.

Andy-
I used to work in a custom machine shop many centuries ago [actually 43
years ago] & have a high respect for craftsmen & know they're worth every
penny they get paid.
I used to be able to get the six-sided jutte locally from a martial arts
supplier at about $10 each wholesalein the mid-90's. However, their supplier
stopped getting them. The six sided jutte handle a lot differently [& better
as they're more balanced] than the straight round-shaft ceremonial jutte
found in most martial arts catalogs & stores.
Thank you for the information though.
