SHOP CASE KNIVESThe McNees PM2 Gen 2 folding knife represents precision American craftsmanship built for serious everyday performance. Designed by custom knifemaker Jonathan McNees, the PM2 has earned a reputation among knife enthusiasts for its clean machining, rugged reliability, and refined attention to detail. This Gen 2 version pushes that reputation even further with premium materials and a build quality that’s ready for real-world use.
The 3" drop point blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless tool steel, one of the most respected modern blade steels available today. MagnaCut is known for delivering an exceptional balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it a standout choice for an everyday carry knife. The blade wears a rugged stonewash finish that helps hide use while giving the knife a hardworking, purpose-driven look. The drop point profile offers excellent versatility, with a strong tip for detailed cutting and a broad belly that handles slicing tasks with ease.
Opening the blade is fast and smooth thanks to dual thumb studs and a precision caged bearing pivot system. The action feels crisp and controlled, delivering the kind of mechanical satisfaction that knife enthusiasts appreciate every time the blade swings into place. A sturdy framelock mechanism secures the blade during use, providing dependable lockup and confidence during demanding cutting tasks.
The handle is machined from durable blue titanium and features a distinctive frag pattern that adds both visual character and enhanced grip. The textured machining catches the light while giving your hand a secure hold, even during extended use. Matching blue titanium hardware continues the bold, cohesive look, including the blue titanium pocket clip that keeps the knife riding securely in your pocket. A built-in lanyard hole offers another carry option for those who prefer it.
Measuring 3.52" closed and weighing 3.4 ounces, the PM2 Gen 2 offers a compact footprint with the solid feel of a precision-built tool. Every line, surface, and detail reflects the thoughtful design and machining that define Jonathan McNees’ work.
