Does this knife come with a sheath?
No, the 980SBK Turret is designed for pocket carry with its deep-carry clip system. No separate sheath is included.
What warranty does Benchmade provide?
Benchmade backs their knives with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. They also offer blade sharpening and maintenance services.
Is the serrated section useful for tactical applications?
The partial serrated edge excels at cutting fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and fabric. This makes it effective for both everyday tasks and tactical situations where you need to cut through gear quickly.
