This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Dobermann IV Tactical is the tactical version of the Dobermann IV model by Extrema Ratio, derived from the classic K1 Dobermann, the first ER knife from 1997. Over the years, Dobermann has undergone significant design changes, responding to the changing needs of users and current trends, while maintaining consistency with the original construction. The latest version still stands out with high structural strength and great versatility of use. In the Tactical variant, the blade is coated with a non-reflective, matte MIL-C-13924 Burnishing finish, and the knife is equipped with a black Cordura sheath, emphasizing its outdoor and military character. Dobermann IV Tactical is one of the most versatile knives in the Extrema Ratio lineup. It performs well during hunting, survival activities, camping, and in a wide range of tactical and military applications.
N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural uniformity. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. It achieves a hardness of 57-60 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - massive, 6.3 mm thick, with a long false edge on the spine. The Drop Point profile and Recurve cutting edge provide good cutting performance and work well in outdoor, survival, hunting, and tactical applications. The blade is coated with a non-reflective, matte MIL-C-13924 Burnishing finish. The smooth Plain cutting edge is ground with a high Flat Grind, ensuring good cutting efficiency. The part of the blade extending beyond the outline of the handle acts as a guard, reducing the risk of the hand slipping toward the edge during use.
Handle - covered with non-slip, textured scales with rubber-like properties. Made from Forprene thermoplastic elastomer, which combines elastic recovery, softness, and resistance to chemical agents, it provides a secure grip even with wet hands. A textured thumb ramp on the spine of the handle improves control of the knife. The steel pommel with an enlarged Lanyard Hole allows a lanyard or safety cord to be attached. It can also function as a hammer or glass breaker, and more...
Sheath - tactical, made of abrasion-resistant and waterproof black Cordura, allowing quick knife draw. The snap-fastened case securely protects the knife against accidental falling out. Compatible with the M.O.L.L.E. (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment), standard, it allows the sheath to be attached to MOLLE webbing and carried on a belt or tactical gear. The lower strap fastened with Velcro allows additional attachment to the thigh.
