The blade of the DOBERMANN IV S600, made from Böhler S600 steel, offers excellent hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, thanks to the high content of molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium. The addition of cobalt promotes the formation of small carbides, further improving wear resistance. With a hardness of 64 HRC, it ensures long-lasting edge retention. The “EXP DARK” teflon coating protects the steel from oxidation.

DOBERMANN IV S600 features a green forprene handle with a glass-breaking tang. It comes with a green cordura thigh sheath, adaptable for both left and right-handed users and compatible with the M.O.L.L.E system.

The Smilodon, commonly known as the saber-toothed tiger, was an extinct large feline that lived during the Pleistocene, between 2.5 million and 10,000 years ago. It was a member of the felid family and was distinguished by its unique features, particularly its huge saber-shaped upper canines.

The Smilodon was larger than present-day tigers, with a length of about 1.6-1.8 meters and a height at withers of about 1 meter. Its weight could range from 200 to 400 kilograms. The Smilodon's most distinctive feature were its upper canines, which could reach a length of more than 20 centimeters. These canines were extremely sharp and adapted for grasping and stinging prey. Smilodon is believed to have been a specialized predator, hunting large mammals such as Pleistocene herbivores. Its hunting technique was probably based on a powerful pounce and the use of its canines to maul the throat of prey. It is likely that its powerful bite was capable of severely damaging the bones of its victims.

Despite its impressive appearance, Smilodon was not closely related to present-day tigers, but represented a separate evolutionary branch. It is thought to have become extinct due to climate change and the disappearance of its main prey at the end of the Pleistocene.

Carl Schlieper Stahlwarenfabrik & Export was originally a trading company founded between 1754 and 1798 in Remscheid in Germany. Products included freehand knives, tools and razors. A branch of the company in Solingen was engaged in the production of knives including slipjoint, automatic knives, daggers, machetes, bowie, razors and kitchen knives. Over the years various brands and 22 patents held by the company have been created and thousands of pieces sold worldwide. Carl Schlieper was liquidated for bankruptcy in 1993.

We don't know where your next expedition will take you, but one thing's for sure: there's nothing more important than reliable, quality gear. In designing our flagship P500, we combined the seemingly incompatible. We ground the high-quality Swedish Sleipner steel blade at two different angles. Near the handle is a high sharpness suitable for normal cutting and finer work, while the front has a very durable low, bellied sharpness that shifts the knife's center of gravity significantly toward the tip allowing you to use it on hardwoods and materials with great power. For safe and controlled work, the back of the "five hundred" handle also widens significantly which, in combination with the grippy G10 composite surface, forms a secure and comfortable grip.
