Here's a little stockman that I've had for some time. It measures 2 11/16 closed. An odd length for a knife I think. The scales are bakelite as far as I can tell. It has a pinned shield, and all blades are dead even with the springs on open position. Whoever owned it liked to keep it buffed, and used an electric sharpener to sharpen the main blade. If anyone can give me a date for the stamp Ka-Bar over USA I would appreciate that as I have no clue.LG3 has it listed as Japan import but I think it is older. 50's maybe.






 
That certainly is a Small Stockman Steve and an interesting example. Unfortunately, I cannot shed any light on it, looks very decent though.

Currently, I suspect RR will be making a Small Stockman and it is likely a worthwhile knife.

This Queen Cutlery D2 knife is 3.25" which I consider small (but very useful) it is the same frame as the 08 Forum Knife Stockman. Böker's Small Stockman is slightly longer 3. 3/8" with round bolsters.

Very cool little stockman. I always cringe when I see or hear of people using those dang electric sharpeners!
 
Some 3-bladers have a pen instead of a sheepsfoot, and I don't call those stockmans. Here's a 2&3/8" Camillus with a 3" Gebr Hoppe. My dad found the Camillus in a gravel driveway somewhere and I straightened it out and glued on some wood.

Case makes a pretty nice small stockman. Mine is from the 1990s and has a good build quality.
The 104 OT and 108 OT were very popular Old Timer models, one with two blades and one with three. Brown delrin handles and 1095 steel. I have multiple of each in the collection. :)
 
Here is one of my circa 1983 Schrade 108OTs which has served a lot of pocket time in brilliant fashion. (2 3/4" Closed)
