The McNees PM2 Gen 2 folding knife showcases the kind of precision machining and purposeful design that has made Jonathan McNees one of the most respected names in modern American knifemaking. Built for dependable everyday performance, this knife combines premium materials, clean industrial styling, and rock-solid construction into a compact tool that’s ready for real work.
The 3" drop point blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless tool steel, one of the most advanced blade steels on the market today. MagnaCut has quickly earned a reputation for delivering exceptional edge retention, impressive toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance all in one balanced package. The blade features a rugged stonewash finish that gives it a hardworking look while helping conceal the marks that come with everyday use. Its drop point profile provides a strong, controllable tip for precision tasks and a generous cutting belly for slicing through daily chores with ease.
Dual thumb studs make deployment quick and intuitive, while the caged bearing pivot delivers smooth, satisfying action every time the blade opens. The PM2 locks up with a solid framelock design that provides dependable strength and security during use. Everything about the action feels crisp, precise, and confidence-inspiring.
The handle is machined from durable titanium and finished in a rugged gray stonewash that complements the blade’s utilitarian character. A distinctive frag pattern is machined into the scales, creating a textured surface that improves grip while giving the knife its bold mechanical style. The stonewashed finish helps hide wear while adding depth and character to the titanium frame. A matching titanium pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible in the pocket, and the integrated lanyard hole offers additional carry options.
At 3.52" closed and weighing 3.4 ounces, the PM2 Gen 2 carries easily while still feeling substantial and capable in the hand. It’s a knife that balances compact size with serious cutting performance, built with the kind of attention to detail that defines high-end American production.
