OK, if you've got two or three that you really love, show 'em all. Please show all three blades and comment on what you find so desireable.
Here are mine.

More of a cattle knife than a stockman, but GEC calls it one, so there. The finest bark ram's horn and low lying blades make this one "tip top."

The etch, the tapered long pull, and the best deep random jigged bone. And as a prototype, a sure safe-queen.

I love the burnt bone and the crisp, pointy points on all three blades. Just a tremendous jumbo stockman at 4⅜".

Please display those stock knives that you just can't get enough of!
 
Not sure if they qualify as "Stylish", but these are my current favorites.
1095 blades and blade selection. Tidioute 828318 Dixie Stockman in "copperhead jigged bone"

1968-1984 Old Timer 858 Lumberjack. A "Grail knife" of mine.
Size (EX Large; 4.625 inch closed) A no nonsense worker's knife.

I'm not sure if the 2018 BF Buck 301 qualifies, since you specified three blades.
It and the Rough Rider RR1419 Stoneworx are my "go to meetn' " Stockmans, as they are the fanciest I own.
The Buck gets the nod for the Elk covers. The Stoneworx for the Turquoise, Red Jasper, MOP, Black Lip Pearl, and fancy bolsters.

While I love my 6332 Case stockman, I don't know I would say it's my most stylish. I think this Schrade Old Timer 34OT Sterling Silver 25th Anniversary takes the cake for me in that department. Recycled picture, but a great knife nevertheless.

Initially I thought this is going to be a tough call - the Stockman of some sort has become more or less my daily carry plus a single-blade. I like all the Stockman I'm lucky to own and most of them are CASE as they 'do' a Medium version better than most. Plus I see waynorth waynorth Charlie's Redbone 18 and I think " If I had a knife like that (with Spey...) I would never leave the house, need another knife, stop collecting......for about a week :D )

But most stylish??? Well it's the GEC 82 Dixie that a great forumite TexasTomcat TexasTomcat was kind enough to sell me. I don't actually use it as it's rare and rather too large although it carries well. I admire the blade assortment GEC was adventurous enough to offer and if they made a scaled down version say 3.5 or 3 3/8 it would be Knivarna :cool:

Special mention too to another recent buy Queen's No.9 in WCSB and D2, superb knife, great W&T and fine steel, Queen used to make a super fine knife, homage!

The GEC 81. One of my very favorite knives. I like every thing in this knife. A pleasure to use.

The GEC 66. Though it's a bit small for my hand i often find myself using it for thorough works.

Good call on the Dixies, very stylish. Charlie, I can see you are "awl in" with that deeply saturated red bone! ;)
Tim, I love that CC, uniquely stylish for sure. And Ed, I'm envious of those gnarly German stags with my favorite acorn shield.
Thanks to all for participating, you can never have or behold too many stockman. A bonus pic of my favorite Delrin stockman,
a mint Camillus #89 from the mid '70s.
