What would be the smallest neck knife currently available?

It must come with a kydex sheath and it can be either a custom or production job and I would prefer something of good quality. Blade shape is not that important except I'm not interested in a tanto style. Type of steel is not especially important either.
 
Not sure this is the smallest but the Hideaway Knife is one of the cooler looking neck knives I've seen on the net. http://www.hideawayknife.com/main.php

something else to look @, that seems like a nice bargain.

Blinker's "Spare Change" knives in the fixed blade forum here on BF. they're handmade, 5" overall, made of D2, come with a Kydex sheath, and are going for $45 a-piece.

here's a picture. there are a few more shots available on his photo site there.

but whoa, that Lil' Loco is teeny!

I was gonna suggest the Cold Steel "Urban Pal", but since you're in Austrailia, you probably can't get one. It is fairly small, 3 1/8" overall, and inexpensive compared to others. http://www.ltspecpro.com/urbanpal.html
Shivworks' "Lil' Loco" is cool too, and only a little more $. I like the single-edged thumb knife concept. (Double-edged, at any length, is verboten in Texas, but only if you get caught!)

Some great suggestions, thanks guys.

I like the hideaway but it's a little more than what I want to pay right now. I'm going to have a look through the cheaper offerings and see what takes my fancy.
 
Simonich Bitteroot - the Krein TK1 is about 5-1/2" long with a 2" blade (cutting edge) - real nice.
 
How about the Comubia River Neck Peck?
I this knife, and it is an excellent knife. I have had it since it first came out (years) and can recommend it highly.
Around $20

It comes with cord to wrap the handle (which I did with mine) and makes a better handle than the one shown in the pic.

I had a look at this one. Looks like what I'm after.

If you can get these JDEE, and they're in the sub $AUS80 range, email me.
 
The smallest I have, out of perhaps 25, is a CRKT Neck Peck. It is 5 5/8 "OAL with a 2 3/8" blade which is wharncliffe in shape and like a little razor!
 
My smallest is one I made myself. Interestingly the knife was started as a prototype for SouthNarc, who I believe is afiliated with the Hideaway system, but don't quote me on that. I just finished one for a customer. I just realized I left my %$^! camera at home, so it'll be later today when I can send a pic, but one I just finished for a customer in the UK is 2 1/4" OAL (about 57mm) with a 1 3/8" blade (about 34mm). Steel is differentially heat treated 1084 (1/8" thick) with an etched blade to reveal the hamon. Handle scales are carbon fiber supposedly used in F-15 fighter jet wings. Pretty sweet little knife, and comes with a little tiny Concealex sheath suitable for neck or keychain carry. Pics will be here soon. I have two left, one with a drop point and one with a Persian/upswept point. Variety of handles from natural woods to synthetics of all types. Honestly, probably not a super practical design, but it is the type of knife you can stick on a keychain or something and it goes largely unnoticed. Email me if you want to talk prices, but I'd say this is more of a tool for someone highly trained in self-defense or someone who wants something unusual and cool on their keychain for doing little daily tasks.

As far as a really good, useful self-defense neck knife design, I think it's hard to beat the LaGriffe, either Fred's version or the Emerson version. Very secure grip in a pretty tiny, very flat package.
 
Didn't CRKT make a carson designed neck knife that was really tiny? I don't remember the name but I played with one once and was surprised at how small it was, at the time I thought too small to be much good. Thats just me though.

I think the Carson was the F4.

There's also the Simonich designed Camillus mini-Talon - small Talonite blade with G-10 scales that is not too small for actual use. Worn as a neck knife, you can sweat on it all you like. It won't rust.
