There are several features that made saber toothed tigers formidable animals. These were their extremely strong forelimb and chest muscles, their claws, and their very long canine teeth. However, their bite force was much weaker than modern cats, so much so that they would have opened their mouth and used their strong neck muscles to "stab" their prey with their long, sharp teeth.
It is important to note that there is little or no evidence that saber toothed cats were any more dangerous towards humans than modern big cats.
