Take a look at some Bark Rivers.

Ontario's RAT-3 is an amazing small fixed blade, the blade is a bit longer than what your looking for, but it's worth considering.

If you don't mind waiting a few months, you could check out Gene Ingram's
knives that way you can pick any handle scales you like.

My ECD is an AG Russell Hunters Scalpel. AUS-8; hard locking sheeth; flat grind. It doesn't meet your size specs, but the larger Bird and Trout does. $30, $40, or $50, depending on the steel.
