Is this what you want?

The advantage of herringbone gears is the elimination of thrust, but bevel gears would have thrust with or without herringbones, and besides, with modern materials and bearings, thrust is not a big deal.
If you really need this, maybe you could get creative with a 3D modeller, and knit together two pairs of spiral bevel gears?
