Ok so my good friend is thinking of converting all of his harad bowmen into watchers of karna with bows, meaning he'll need to find loads of cheap miniature scimitar's/machetes/cleavers that are scaled to the lord of the rings mini's.

Does anyone know where to find said miniature weapons?

Help me one ring community, you're my only hope (I know this ain't no star wars forum but what the heck)

Google? Or eBay. Can find pretty much everything on eBay.

I'm struggling with this one, cant seem to find anything for you. Your best alternative might end up being a bunch of Easterling swordsmen, give their sword to the Haradrim and convert the Easterlings to spearmen by removing the bow and drilling a hole in the hand and adding some brass rod.

Good luck

It might not be quite like what you asked for, but the sword might be suitable still:

I can't think of any other weapon that will do the job. Otherwise, you might need to go looking for some really cheap (plastic) models with suitable swords..

Wow Grunge, I will admit that 2nd site has some good (hard to get stuff), but £4 for one sword ?

I'll throw out there that Hoard O' Bits sells plastic bits at pretty good prices. For your purposes, the Orc Warband Weapons or the Skeleton Weapons from Wargames Factory might be a good fit.
