Specifications
The McNees Knives PM (Performance Machined) line is a labor of love, and now we're excited to bring you Gen 2 of our ever-popular PM Mac 2 model.
Maintaining all the core elements that made the Gen 1 PM Mac 2 so popular, this updated version builds on the already exceptional fit and finish you've come to expect with a new and improved threaded standoff design, a milled clip area, US-made hardware with Delrin caged ceramic bearings and titanium clip and body screws, and a few other subtle changes.
PM Mac 2 Background
Jonathan McNees wanted to bring a more affordable line of knives to the market, but he would only do it if he could keep them made in the USA. It might not be the easiest or most profitable route, but it's an important part of the difference that you can feel every time you pick up a PM Mac 2.
The PM Mac 2 3.5" is an extremely pocket-friendly and ergonomic design. With lines that flow open or closed, it sports all the features you would expect from a full custom.
All outsourced work on the PM line of knives is done in the US, with a good portion handled at McNees' Alabama-based shop, including fitting locks, detents, and sharpening. As our capabilities expand, even more will be done in-house by Jonathan and his team.
I am very happy with a PM Mac 2 (Gen 2) I purchased. It is extremely well made and the fit and finished is perfect. The Frag Pattern handles allow a very secure grip to the knife. I see another McNees in my future!
I've wanted to pick up a Mac 2 for a while. I really love the design. It's ergos are great. It opens and closes super smooth. It's in my EDC and will stay there a while. My only complaints are that the pocket clip it very tight and requires me to use my hand to pull up on the clip while drawing the knife from my pocket, otherwise it won't let go of my pants. I'm hoping with time it will loosen up. Putting some pressure on the clip might solve the problem, but I don't want to bend it up if I can get it to loosen over time. This complaint is very minor and doesn't slow me down, just requires a little extra hand placement when drawing the knife.
Frag. That's the knife I was waiting for.
Excellent knife
