Used. No fall damage. Has the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a McNees PM MAC 2 3.5 in the Swerve pattern with an atomic stonewash finish on contoured titanium. It carries the F stamp, which means a flat grind on the blade rather than the hollow grind these usually ship with. See the photos for the handle color and finish before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PM stands for Performance Machined, and the MAC 2 is the knife that made that line what it is. Jonathan McNees built the PM series to put an American made knife at a price that was not absurd, and much of the fit, lock tuning, and sharpening still happens in his Alabama shop. The Gen 2 brought threaded standoffs, a milled clip recess, Delrin caged ceramic bearings, and US made hardware throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flat grind is the part worth paying attention to. Most MAC 2s are hollow ground, which is great for slicing, but a flat grind on 3.5 inches of MagnaCut gives you more meat behind the edge and a blade that handles lateral load better. If you use a knife rather than admire it, the F stamp is the one you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnaCut at 63 to 64 HRC is about as good as a production stainless gets right now. It holds an edge like a high carbide steel and does not rust like one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This One Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF stamp flat grind, not the usual hollow grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCPM MagnaCut at 63 to 64 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwerve pattern with an atomic stonewash finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGen 2 internals, Delrin caged ceramic bearings, US made hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContoured titanium with a titanium deep carry clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriced well under what these run new\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Used, trade in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: McNees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: PM MAC 2 3.5, Swerve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Length: 7.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: CPM MagnaCut, 63 to 64 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrind: Flat, F stamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finish: Atomic stonewash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Contoured titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock: Frame lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeployment: Manual, dual thumb studs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivot: Delrin caged ceramic bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Clip: Titanium deep carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: US made, titanium and stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: Approx. 3.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes: Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFall Damage: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (McNees shop, Alabama)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout The Back Door\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Back Door is where trade ins, returns, blems, demos, and one-offs go.
