From US based CulinaryCookware (http://www.culinarycookware.com/) I ordered a French Matfer Bourgeat brand large stainless steel skimmer for USD25 plus shipping.
I plan to use it for stirring milk and ingredients, stirring curds while cooking or washing, and for ladling curds out of large stockpots.
Several sizes available, this one has a 5.5 in/140 mm diameter head and 16.5 in/420 mm long handle.
12" (304mm) long handle with a 6" (152mm) diameter perforated spoon US$10.50
Not quite as long but it will do the job for mosy of us.

Debi, good find and thanks for pointing out. I made a mistake, mine was USD17.50 (http://www.culinarycookware.com/stainless-steel-skimmer.html), 25 was list price. Also, mine is French, so more expensive ;D.
And a much longer handle!
