Unraveling the Daniel Defense Teaser
Daniel Defense is such a tease. Check out the image that they recently posted to their Facebook Page…
There is speculation around the internet that it is .308 precision rifle but, since they refer to the teased firearm as a new “DDM4” on their Twitter feed, I doubt that is the case.
What #DDM4 will Daniel Defense come out with at #SHOT Show? http://t.co/Kz9iS3PUi6

A few barrels that could be be stainless steel (or in the white carbon steel) appear in the most recent Daniel Defense video on Youtube (below). Perhaps, given the potential appearance of stainless barrels and the precision oriented optic shown in the teaser pic, the newest DDM4 will be some kind of stainless barreled light precision setup.
TOPS Knives Tahoma Field Knife
The TOPS Knives Tahoma Field Knife is the result of a collaboration between Andy Tran of Inner Bark and TOPS. If you are not familiar with Inner Bark, you should be. It is a tremendous source of survival related information and gear reviews.
The Tahoma Field Knife (TFK) is a large survival knife that is ground from 3/16″ 1095 steel with canvas micarta slab grips. It features a 7 5/16″ main cutting edge with a short back up cutting edge on the spine near the tip. This back up edge is there to serve as a last ditch cutting method should you find yourself unable to sharpen the main edge.
The TFK has a notch on the spine that can be used to score materials to create a weak point for breaking to save the edge of your knife. This is an extremely clever feature since saw back knives rarely work well. It appears that Andy and TOPS were able to get the only useful function of the saw back, notching, out of a much smaller section of notches. This leaves the spine of the knife clear and square which is advantageous for other tasks like striking a ferro rod or batoning.
The TFK has a host of other features like dual bow drill pivots on the handle slabs, 2 lanyard points (1 near the wrist on the thumb ramp, 1 on the butt of the grip), a large finger choil, and a pry tip at the butt of the grip. It comes with a ballistic nylon sheath.

Mission Knives CSP-A2
I bought a Mission Knives MPK-A2 way back when Brigade Quartermaster (the 1st iteration) went out of business. I loved that knife thanks to its tough but easy to sharpen A2 steel blade, great cutting ability for a thick knife, and its ability to soak up all kinds of abuse. I sold it a while back and have regretted it ever since. I always have one eye open for a deal on a replacement which is why I recently came across the Mission Knives CSP.
The CSP, or Chance Sanders Professional, is a collaboration between Mission Knives and survival instructor Chance Sanders. The new knife is geared toward the survival market and designed to withstand hard use. To that end, it is ground from .25″ thick A2 steel which Mission Knives has a knack for making just about bomb-proof. The blade features a straight spine to ensure a strong tip and enough belly to be used for tasks like skinning game. The CSP has contoured G-10 handle slabs, aggressive jimping on the spine, and a black oxide finish. It comes with a kydex sheath.
There are currently a limited number of the prototypes available direct from Mission Knives.
Ferfrans CQB Modular Muzzle Brake System
The Ferfrans CQB Modular Muzzle Brake System (FF CQB System) looks like it has tremendous potential, especially for those who
can’t or won’t own a sound suppressor. It consists of 2 main parts: a 3 port muzzle brake and a cup shaped quick-detach shield called the Concussion Reduction Device (CRD) that can be attached over the brake.
Muzzle brakes are great for keeping the muzzle of the firearm steady, helping the shooter to deliver faster follow-up shots. Unfortunately, they are also great at rattling the teeth of those around you and spraying debris everywhere when shot near the ground. The FF CQB System seeks to remedy this by providing what looks to be a no compromise muzzle brake that can be used to aid the shooter in controlling recoil and a shield that can be affixed over the muzzle brake to direct the sound and concussion forward, away from the shooter and those around the shooter.
There are other muzzle brake shields on the market but the FF CQB System is different in that it is an all-in-one system, the CRD has QD functionality, and the CRD has some strategically placed ports to allow the brake to perform similarly to how it would perform without the CRD in place. The ports on the CRD seem to be one of the keys to this system as it allows most of the blast to be directed down range but still allows the brake to function fairly normally. The muzzle should still stay mostly level but there will be more rearward push similar to what you would see with a linear compensator.
The FF CQB System is not yet available from Ferfrans.net but you can inquire directly by emailing muzzleflash223@gmail.com. It should be available through dealers soon.
U.S. and foreign patents pending.
