Oberland Arms TitanSepp Integral TiBronze The Oberland Arms TitanSepp, designed by renowned Italian knife designer Tommaso Rumici, has become a true classic after more than 11 years in production. With the new Integral version, this proven concept reaches an even higher level in terms of material, craftsmanship and design. The new TitanSepp knives are manufactured by premium knife maker Lionsteel in Maniago, Italy – using state-of-the-art machinery combined with the expertise of highly skilled craftsmen. The standout feature of the new version is the one-piece integral handle, precision-milled from solid titanium or aluminium and available in two colour variants each. This places the new TitanSepp firmly in the premium class when it comes to quality, design, materials and finish. All knives come as standard with a MOLLE-compatible nylon knife pouch. The pouch is manufactured by TacticalBear in Germany and impresses with its robust construction and versatile usability – for example, it can also be used as a magazine pouch or accessory pouch. Our Knife Secure retention system is available separately as the perfect matching accessory. Legal certainty through BKA classification As one of the few knives on the market, the TitanSepp offers additional legal certainty through an official classification notice issued by the German Federal Criminal Police Office, the BKA. This document can be conveniently downloaded via the discreet QR code laser-engraved on the handle scale. According to the BKA classification notice, the TitanSepp knives are not classified as weapons, but as true two-hand opening knives in accordance with §42a paragraph 1, §1/2/2-a-, §1/2/2-b- and §2/3 of the German Weapons Act. You can find the BKA notice under the ‘Documents to download’ tab.

Rear Tailgate Damper Upgrade for the Land Rover New Defender More comfort, more control, more practicality for everyday use: With the rear tailgate damper upgrade for the Land Rover New Defender, opening the tailgate becomes noticeably smoother and more reliable—whether in everyday use, on trips, or off-road.   Especially on the New Defender, the tailgate is correspondingly heavy due to the spare tire and additional attachments. This can make opening and holding it open cumbersome, particularly when the vehicle isn’t standing perfectly straight. This is exactly where our upgrade comes in: The specially tuned heavy-duty damper supports the tailgate shortly after unlocking and opens it gently and in a controlled manner on its own starting at approximately 3°.   Particularly practical: Even when the vehicle is at a slight angle—as often happens off-road, on uneven surfaces, or on inclines—the tailgate stays reliably open. This gives you convenient access to the cargo area at all times—without having to hold it open, brace it, or worry about it slamming shut.   Another plus is the increased opening angle of just over 90°. This provides more freedom of movement at the rear and makes loading and unloading significantly easier.   Further down, our comparison video clearly illustrates the differences between the original damper and the Nakatanenga upgrade damper.   Installation is a plug-and-play solution and requires no vehicle modifications. Simply swap it out, enjoy the benefits, and make your Defender even more practical for everyday use.   Your benefits at a glance: Noticeably greater comfort when opening the tailgate Automatic, smooth opening starting at approx. 3° Reliable hold-open function even on slight inclines Wider opening angle for better access to the cargo area Robust heavy-duty design Simple plug-and-play installation No modifications to the vehicle required
