Alternative to Spyderco Ladybug Hawkbill?

So, I'm getting a Benchmade 51 Balisong here soon. I plan to EDC it (which is legal here), but I want a smaller blade to go with it in my pocket that won't have the same stigma as the large bali might.

I really, really like the look of the Spyderco Ladybug Serrated Hawkbill. It seems like a very utilitarian shape and a good compliment to the plain edge spear point on the BM51. Problem is, Ladybug Hawkbills were a sprint run so they're a bit hard to come by and expensive when you can. I was wondering if there was any knife that might be a good alternative. Small size, serrations and a hawkbill are all features I'd like to have. Currently being produced would also help because I am friends with a dealer, so he can buy the knives for me at wholesale, which helps price a lot.

Thanks for reading,
Cody
 
It's not out yet but Spyderco has an H1 hawkbill Ladybug listed in their 2011 catalog.
 
You might also want to check out the Boker Subclaw. I have owned both the Spyderco and the Boker and I think the Boker was more practical and a little more robust. It is significantly cheaper too. A mini-Salt hawkbill does sound appealing though!
 
its a smidge bigger but the cricket does pretty well and has a recurved blade that serves the same function as the hawkbill
