Compact Power with a Distinctive Finish

The McNees PM MAC 2 GEN 2 in the 3″ configuration continues the return of one of the most requested sizes McNees has ever produced. This version pairs a rich green anodized titanium handle with an Atomic stonewashed MagnaCut blade and contrasting bronze hardware, giving it a rugged, purpose-driven look that still feels refined.

While the standard MAC-2 typically comes in a 3.5″ blade, this 3″ version is noticeably more pocket friendly without sacrificing performance. At just 3.4 oz, it’s an easy daily carry that still feels substantial and confidence-inspiring in hand.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

This is one of those colorways that just works. The green anodizing has a classic, almost military vibe, and the Atomic stonewash adds depth without being flashy. The bronze hardware ties it all together in a way that feels intentional, not decorative. Same McNees performance, just a different attitude.

High Performance Hollow Grind, Unexpectedly Slicey

Like all current PM MAC 2 GEN 2 models, this knife features McNees’ High Performance Hollow Grind. Despite the blade’s robust stock, the hollow grind dramatically improves cutting efficiency, making it far slicier than most knives in this class.

The MagnaCut blade is hollow ground in-house at McNees Knives and heat treated to 63–64 HRC, delivering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and real-world cutting performance in a compact format.
