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 in our newest milling pattern.

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.

The swerve milling pattern is on both the face scale and the lock side.

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.
