Small but Functional?

Me again,
Another question: What kind of smaller, keychain size, knife would you recommend? I am not overly concerned with weight, but I use my little kershaw chive daily. I managed to screw up the blade on that and am in the market for another little knife I can keep on my keychain. My hands are small (well, average for a woman but small compared to most of you guys out there). I want something that cuts really well, is durable, preferrably not serrated, and as far as looks go I'm quite fond of the drop point blade style. I want it to lock (liner or other I don't have a preference). Price is a factor, I'd prefer not spend more than $40 if I can get away with it.
I have looked at all kinds of knives on Spyderco's website and here and YouTube and all over the place. I know there are other knives and companies that would be alright, but I really would like to expand my Spyderco collection. If my Tenacious weren't so big, I'd put it on my keychain (but I can't take that one into work with me).
So, what do ya'll recommend?
Thanks again,
Gray
 
the ladybug salt was just released.

it is about $34 or so. lockback, 2" blade, h1 steel.
 
I carry an orange handle Ladybug 3 attached to my key ring and think it's ideal. If you want something impervious to rust and are willing to spend a few dollars more then I suggest the Ladybug 3 Salt which uses H1 steel and has a yellow handle.
 
Might want to take a look at the Byrd Robin. Bit bigger (2.5" blade) than the Ladybug, but still small enough to put on a key ring. Inexpensive (under $20), available in PE, and the FRN version in particular is nice and light. It's not a drop point, but pretty close to it.
