Are you kidding? It's in every lumberyard.
Here for example:

Oops! Now I see that it's not the traditional "baspanel" in your sketch.
But this version with only one beveled edge is also quite common.
Ask at any lumberyard!

It is known as a single-phase panel by many suppliers. Not as common as the double-phase panel (z-panel) in Sweden (or at least Småland), but here in Ålesund where I live, it is on about 70% of all houses and is called "ålesundspanel".
Here are 120. http://beijerbygg.se/SiteSeeker/Search.aspx?id=97915&quicksearchquery=enkelfas+panel
145 tends to be harder to find, but I'm sure they can order it.

It's not single-phase, it looks like in the picture below. The panel profile you have drawn up is very similar to the horizontal panel we put on the houses at my job, with the difference that our panel is 162 mm wide but otherwise similar. I know we purchase it from http://www.wasawood.se in Skutskär, call them and ask if they have any resellers.brunolundh said:
The base panel that KnockOnWood links to is probably the closest you will find in a regular building supply store. On http://www.traguiden.se/TGtemplates/GeneralPage.aspx?id=201 you won't find the panel you have drawn up anyway.

Yes, it was a bit careless of me, the correct name is "falsad enkelfaspanel." But I can't swear that it's called different things in different parts of the country.
Yes, it can certainly be called differently, you often see more local names for different profiles available in the building trade.brunolundh said:
Well, look at that, I had missed that. Nicely spotted 
But as it says, it is quite uncommon in Sweden. I've never seen it at a hardware store, only at my own job.

It looks nice when it's up. That's how it will be in my newly purchased house.

I agree with you, I also think it looks really nice on the houses we manufacture. Unfortunately, we install 28*70 trims around the windows, and I think that decreases the impression of the facade a lot, the trims look like matchsticks around the windows because our paneling is quite wide. We have built some houses with 145 trims, and it creates a much nicer overall look on the facade.
Now that we are discussing the differences between double-bevel and single-bevel:
How do you think it practically differs in terms of durability?
When I built my house and decided on horizontal siding, the choice was between Z-panel and single bevel siding.
I imagine that rainwater runs off more easily from the beveled lower edge of the Z-panel,
while raindrops remain on the horizontal underside of the single bevel siding panel.
If the water runs off more easily, I believe paint and wood should last longer, so I chose the Z-panel.
Right or wrong? What do you think? Or does it not matter at all? :x

I don't think it differs significantly in terms of durability; it's pretty much a toss-up. Sure, you may have a point in your thinking, but wood doesn't absorb water nearly as much along the grain as it does at the end grain, so I don't think it matters that much. Additionally, it gets the chance to dry up quite quickly, so it doesn't stand for long periods.
