Do you want 3rd party weapons, or just those printed by WotC/Paizo?

Isn't there some sort of oriental weapon listed as an optional weapon in the DMG?

The problem is that most reach weapons are too large and awkward to use finesse, and do much of their damage for leverage. Finesse weapons are also piercing, and other than a pike(Long Spear), there aren't any reach weapons that are piercing. But if you want to make one, drop the damage one die, and increase the crit range by 1 (After converting it to an X2 dmg crit).
Example:
Rapier on a Stick: 2 Handed Finessable Reach Weapon (Exotic)
Cost: 50 GP
WT: 7 Lbs
DMG (Small/Med): 1d6 / 1d8
Crit: 18-20 x2
Type: Piercing
You may want to rename that, though I find the image humorous.

Since I didn't hear a no... 
Bastion Press has the Arms and Armor book. Lots of finessible reach weapons, but they are all based on the chain weapon physics. There are even some that are reach weapons that can be finessed and used as a double weapon! They're based on true weapons (meteor hammer, mother and son hammer, both of which are bludgeoning) if not actual use (i'm no expert with them, so I can't say either way).
