Swerve milling. Natural titanium. All stonewash.

The Swerve MAC2 3" in natural titanium is the most straightforward build in this batch. Swerve milling runs across both handle scales on natural 6AL-4V titanium with no anodization, and a stonewash blade with stonewashed hardware gives the whole knife a cohesive, work-ready finish. No color competing for attention. Just the Swerve geometry, the titanium, and the MagnaCut blade.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The PM MAC2 3" punches well above its price point. Jonathan McNees designed the PM line specifically to bring his level of fit and finish to a more accessible format without sending production overseas. The ceramic bearing action and titanium hardware at this price are hard to find from an American maker.

Natural titanium with Swerve milling lets the machining be the entire visual story. The curved, flowing grip pattern across both scales is clean in natural titanium in a way that anodization can sometimes mask. Stonewash blade and stonewashed hardware give it a practical, carry-first finish that suits the no-frills character of this version.

PM Line, USA Built

Jonathan McNees created the PM MAC2 line with one condition: it stays made in America. Machining is outsourced to US shops only, with fitting, detents, and sharpening handled in-house at the Alabama facility. Caged ceramic bearings and a ceramic detent ball give the MAC2 3" an action that competes with knives at significantly higher price points. CPM MagnaCut at 63-64 HRC handles the cutting performance side with no compromises.
