Looking for an inexpensive pocket fixed blade

[Snow]

Just like the title says. I would like to buy a custom pocket fixed blade. Price would preferentially be kept under $100, but definitely under $150. Natural or synthetic handle materials are both fine. I am looking for something small, non-threatening looking, and inexpensive so I won't worry about carrying it every day. Blade shape could be anything, but I am partial to a sheepsfoot or wharncliffe. I know there are tons of talented makers here. Any suggestions?

DUH! I am a big Koster fan, too. How did I overlook that?!

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

Daniel's knife looks like just the ticket. Nice.

Here's an alternative I just shot for Don Cowles, another Bladeforums member:

To be fair, it is NOT completely handmade by Don. He installs the ruby, sharpens the edge and creates the sheath. Bone scales, tapered tang. Don has contracted an overseas company to replicate his very popular style. Price from Don including sheath: $99.00

I have this one and I thoroughly enjoy it.
