It is not intended for other Benchmade models, so confirm your knife is in the SOCP 176\/178\/179 family before ordering the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat color is the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath is Sand. Benchmade also produces the same PIM sheath in black under a different part number, so order the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath specifically if you want the Sand colorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath come with a knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath is sold as a sheath and clip only. The SOCP 176, 178 or 179 knife is purchased separately, which makes the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath a useful spare or replacement for owners who already have the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath attach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath includes a clip, which allows it to be secured to a belt, waistband or gear for carry. Because the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath is a molded polymer sheath, it holds its shape and retains the blade consistently over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does PIM mean on the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePIM stands for Precision Injection Molded. It refers to the manufacturing process used to form the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath, which produces a rigid, dimensionally consistent polymer sheath rather than a folded or stitched one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath a genuine Benchmade part?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath is a factory Benchmade accessory, not an aftermarket copy, so it matches the fit and retention of the sheath supplied with the SOCP knives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can buy the Benchmade 987496F PIM Sheath at Going Gear, an authorized Benchmade dealer.
