The return of the 3″ PM MAC 2 is a big deal, and this configuration leans into that moment with a finish that feels both rugged and refined. Model 2458 pairs bronze anodized titanium scales with McNees’ Atomic Stonewashed MagnaCut blade and matching stonewashed hardware, creating a knife that looks ready for real use straight out of the box.

This is the compact PM MAC 2 many people have been waiting years for. Smaller, lighter, and significantly more pocketable than the 3.5″ version, without giving up the McNees feel that makes these knives special.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

This one hits different. The bronze scales give it a warm, almost industrial look, and the Atomic Stonewash just begs to be used. At 3.4 oz, it disappears in the pocket, but the moment you open it, you’re reminded this is still very much a McNees.

High Performance Hollow Grind, Done In-House

Every PM MAC 2 GEN 2 now features McNees’ updated high performance hollow grind, ground in-house at McNees Knives. This is a huge part of what makes these knives special.

Despite the robust blade stock, the hollow grind gives the blade a noticeably slicier profile than you’d expect. The MagnaCut steel is heat treated to 63–64 HRC, delivering excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a blade that is meant to work.

Compact Size, Full McNees Build Quality

The PM MAC 2 GEN 2 maintains excellent ergonomics even in this smaller 3″ configuration. The smooth titanium frame feels natural in hand, the frame lock engages confidently, and the ceramic bearings deliver the smooth, controlled action McNees is known for.

Everything about this knife reflects thoughtful design. It feels intentional, balanced, and built to last.
