Timascus inlay. MagnaCut blade. Alabama made. A PM MAC2 3.5" that has been carried.

The McNees PM MAC2 3.5" is Jonathan McNees' full-size expression of the Performance Machined line, stepping up from the 3" platform to a 3.5" MagnaCut blade that competes with custom knives at a fraction of the price. This example carries a Timascus inlay on the titanium handle, one of the most premium and visually distinctive materials used in the custom and semi-custom knife market. Timascus is a Damascus-pattern titanium alloy that produces flowing, organic color patterns across the surface that shift depending on light and angle. No two Timascus inlays are identical. The knife rides on caged ceramic bearings with a ceramic detent ball for smooth, controlled manual deployment. 6AL-4V titanium handle with frame lock. MagnaCut blade steel at 63-64 HRC delivers elite edge retention and corrosion resistance. Made in Vernon, Alabama by Jonathan McNees and his team.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: A used PM MAC2 3.5" with a Timascus inlay is not a knife that shows up often. Timascus is a premium material in the custom knife world and it does not come standard on production knives. This one has been carried and used, which means someone trusted it enough to make it their daily carry. At $650 against an $850 new retail, this is the way into one of the best semi-custom folders Alabama has produced.

Why This PM MAC2 3.5" Timascus Stands Out

• 3.5" CPM MagnaCut Blade at 63-64 HRC, exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance
• Timascus Handle Inlay, premium Damascus-pattern titanium with shifting color character
• 6AL-4V Titanium Handle with Frame Lock
• Caged Ceramic Bearings with Ceramic Detent Ball for smooth, controlled manual deployment
• Made in Vernon, Alabama by Jonathan McNees
• Honest carry wear, fully functional

Why You'll Want It

A Timascus inlay MAC2 3.5" at a Back Door price is the kind of opportunity that moves fast. Timascus on a MagnaCut frame lock from one of the best semi-custom makers in Alabama. It has been carried because it earns it. The next owner gets all of that at $200 below original retail.
