Lynch Northwest and McNees Knives make natural partners: a Washington clip maker and a veteran owned knife shop, both machining American titanium for people who use what they carry. Lynch's McNees clips are hand formed from domestic 6AL-4V grade 5 titanium in Casey Lynch's Rockford shop, purpose built to give the PM Mac 2 the deep carry configuration its owners keep asking for.
The Mac 2 is a hard use folder that deserves hardware to match. Lynch's deep carry geometry drops the knife low in the pocket with only a clean edge of titanium showing, and grade 5 spring tension keeps retention consistent through years of daily draws. Every clip ships with a hardware packet of spare T6 screws and carries Lynch's lifetime guarantee, so a bent or tweaked clip gets replaced at no charge.
The Standard clip is built for the PM Mac 2 3.5 inch and fits Gen 1 and Gen 2 frames along with the Mac 2 Auto. The Short clip serves the compact Mac 2 3 inch, likewise across both generations, and includes a pocket tab that seats under the clip for proper Gen 2 installation. Between the two lengths and the finish options, every Mac 2 configuration has a matching Lynch upgrade.
Here is the sleeper detail: both McNees patterns also fit a cluster of Benchmade models, including the Arcane 490, Emissary 470-1, Fact 417, Valet 485, and Vector 496. Owners of those knives have limited aftermarket clip options, and this pattern quietly solves the problem. Finishes span Service, stonewashed, and black, hand finished like everything Lynch ships.
