Appreciate the kind words! The clips will be a little longer and tweaked on the production ones. The blades will also be cnc flat ground like on the 3”. Base price will be 495.00
I just got mine yesterday, and I love it. same exact color as this one. I love the tumbled, polished stone wash on the blade. its just an all around, well made, beautiful piece of work. this ones gonna be in the pocket for a while.
Mine comes today!!! The 3 inch. I’m a big fella and I love big knives. But here lately I’ve been in a small big knife kick! Like the civivi odium. Small knife great ergos that makes you be able to fit all your fingers.
@@DirkWerning will do! Another knife you need to check out if you haven’t is the fox knives yaru. I got mine yesterday and it’s up there with my field duty in my opinion for comfort, fit and finish and aesthetics. I love this knife! I hope to love the mac2 also!
I like the super clean look. It's plain but it's also a blank slate. Hollow ground is perfectly done. The 3.5 blade is a do anything size. Clip ramp looks a little steep.
I have wanted one for a while but always bought something else lol. I saw somebody had one of the 3 inch guess they are for sale in one of the knife groups and he couldn't sell it. He dropped the price a few times. Might have to look to see if its still around maybe I will have to finally buy it. Looking forward for all my Toor folders to show up. Should ship soon I would hope bought them 15 days ago now. I bought one of each of the new folders they dropped on the 1st. I do like that McNees is from AL too nice to support somewhat local for me. I have a couple houses but one is in AL between Mobile and Pensacola on the Gulf think McNees is up near Tuscaloosa a few hours north of me.
They are just cheap steel bearings. That’s my ONLY complaint with the Mac2. I put skiff ceramic bearings in mine right away. It’s one of the best actions I’ve ever felt. I posted a video in the Mcnees Facebook group. I want a 3.5” so bad! I’d love to put one to work and see how well his 20cv is done!
I had talked myself out of buying a Mac2 until I saw how much you liked this. 3.0 is now on the way (smallish, which works for me quite often). Very similar in size to the Half-Track. If I like this one as much as I expect, a 3.5 may be on the horizon as well..... Ugh.
Average price range?? Sucks being poor because I’m stuck around the 300 range. I just bought a new 3.5 and I have a love/hate relationship with it. No lockbar insert is one and now the lockbar on the e second gen’s have a huge gap. I expect better clip as well. Idk maybe I’m just in over my limit and need to stick with my Reate made blades
@@DirkWerning actually my new Mac2 has a HUGE lockbar gap and I ask if he was ever going to change because I (as a paying customer) found it as an eyesore for that kind of money and he was a straight prick about it so no more McNees for myself. I’ll stick to my reate made blades. 600 bucks is pew money and I expected much more. Just my thoughts as I don’t expect everyone to be the same

That’s a GREAT price for these WOW!!!!
Thanks for chiming in really appreciate that.
I missed out. Where can I get one?!
@@jmare25 I picked one up at USA MADE BLADE yesterday!
I purchased the 3” at Blade Show and I love it! The McNees are cool people making cool knives!
I had a feeling this would be one that you would like. Super happy to share! Great folks to meet at Blade.
I seriously beyond impressed with this one. Thank you sooo much. For sure the favorite one you sent this time.

That’s great to hear. Thanks for sharing.
I really like this maker. I had a great experience with him. I really like his work. I really like this one
Came close to getting one at blade show...thanks Dirk
I have the McNees Mac 2 3.0 and it is a fantastic knife. I can’t stress enough how good it is. The action is sublime. 👌
Agreed can’t say enough great things.
Mine comes today!!! The 3 inch. I’m a big fella and I love big knives. But here lately I’ve been in a small big knife kick! Like the civivi odium. Small knife great ergos that makes you be able to fit all your fingers.
Sweet please let me know how you like it.
@@DirkWerning will do! Another knife you need to check out if you haven’t is the fox knives yaru. I got mine yesterday and it’s up there with my field duty in my opinion for comfort, fit and finish and aesthetics. I love this knife! I hope to love the mac2 also!
@@edcevo3052 nope have not checked that one out I don’t think and I like Fox knives.
@@DirkWerning it blows the ace biblio and the suru out the water!!!
@@edcevo3052 feel free to send it in for review 😉

Agreed and the clip may be tweaked before releasing to the public so keep that in mind.
Beautiful knife thanks for video Dirk!
My pleasure it was truly a fun one.
I’m trying to get one of these on a drop. Great video!
Good luck.
I love that knife. Move over hinderer and crk
You convinced me man! This is on my radar now 4 sure!

Very cool knife. A really clean well done design. Great review 👍
Thank you always appreciate you sir.
I was bummed that I didn’t make it to there booth quick enough at blade and the 3.5” were all sold
I can see why. 👍🏻

Very cool.
I need the 3.5 in my life. It couldn’t have a plainer look but that’s the beauty of it. Great stuff!🔥
A blank slate is beautiful
@@MetalRush666 Agreed! Love the sterile look.
Looks very Spartan-esque.

Very nice...it should sell well.
I'm waiting for the 3.5 to Become available
Agreed. I think the 3” would be too small but I’m loving this 3.5” (at least until I need to send it back home).
I want one so bad I would trade my strider ar for one probably. And I love that knife.
This is better than the AR .75 in my opinion hands down.
Everyone is waiting for the 3.5!
It worth the wait.
I believe the clip will be different when it's released to the public.
Could be so I’m not bagging on that at all.

I’m not sure in the prices. But will say there’s NOTHING wrong with Reate stuff.

Dirk. I’ll trade you a Demko AD20 for that 3.5!
Well first off I already own 2 AD20’s and this is just a loaner knife from a buddy in Alaska so….I can’t do any trading with it.
That frame sure seemed to have a lot of over travel when you closed it
The clip was a big point of contention, I have bought the knife, the clip looks way too plain
Seems a bit bare-bones for 5 bones. Overall it looks like a nice knife though.
It’s way cool trust me.
Not gonna tell someone how much it cost? How rude - Michelle Tanner
Did I not talk about the price on this one? Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. Sorry if I missed it on this one.
@@DirkWerning I didn't mean for this video I meant your comments about it when you are out and about IRL lol
@@jdbaker82 ah okay lol.
