Those are my bushpick knives. A base model with dymondwod scales is $125 without a sheath. The redwood burl scales would be extra depending on what they cost me. Though I am considering a new direction with woods knives. I started out making these bushpicks with heavy use in mind but now I'm leaning toward dropping the 3/16" altogether and doing a scandi in 1/8" and a full flat in 5/32" and specifying that they are not intended for batoning, and going with scandi and sabre grinds on the Intrepid for guys who want to baton. The Intrepid have bolt on scales and tang extensions so they are better suited to rough use. The bushpick profile is like a slender Kephart with a coke bottle handle and I think they would be much better as a thinner, lighter more elegant knife.
I have a green micarta one with yellow liners in 3/16" that has become my beater knife and its held up great. I've done some fire prep with it, carved a few trap triggers for kicks and made a couple of bowdrill sets with it and it still slices paper into curls. I made it about a year ago and it never sold so I just started using it. I wish it was thinner now after doing a custom Kephart for HalfAxe. I really liked how that knife felt in the hand and I think a bushpick with a 1/8" blade and a full flat grind would be a pleasure to use.
