Does the blade have the 10 degree off-set like my original in Nam?

NO it does not. Also, The "Nam" style knife has serrations on both sides of the blade near the hilt, while this knife has serrations on only one side at the tip. Years ago, Gerber did make a few commemoratives with the angled blade....they are pricey, but MUCH cheaper than an original! Your best bet would be to start searching EBAY. Good Luck, and Thank-You for your service...........Art

No and you are thinking of the Gerber MARK II. This is the COMMAND II which was produced from approximately 1981 to 1986. The Command II differs from the Mark II in several ways... most notably, it is a single-edge dagger as opposed to a double-edge dagger.

Can't say for sure, but i do know that were the handle on the 0100 is shaped that the whole blade will not go all the way in the plastic insert on the Spec Ops. If you try it anyway i would like to know. A 0100 is on my wishlist.

You need to look at your owners manual or go on line and find the owners manual to answer this question. Personally, I have no clue. There actually may be a model number on your current blade which you can research. That is how I found the right replacement blade.

Not sure. I looked up the model number you provided and it looks to be same knife. I could only guess. Wish I had a better answer for.

I'm sorry. I do not know and doubt it. I, too, love this knife. If you kept receipt and initial info, perhaps, you can contact the manufacturer customer service. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No. You should be able to find the model# on the blade if you have an old one. I think the model#DLC-501TX

Tues Outer is stamped on base of blade but quality seems different than original blade. Works fine.

If you replace the blade with a good quality blade it cuts much cleaner. The lock positions are not real accurate, I find that I need to use a square to get the angles set more accurately. My buddy's $400 machine doesn't require the gauge but I don't have the $$$.

The information I have on the knife I purchased lists the blade as AUS8. The knife is also made in Taiwan and not China! Check the web for reviews onOntario knives and you should be able get all the info needed Good luck. I am very happy with this knife!

I tried to look up that information for you by locating a 'Merkur Website", no such luck. I would try calling Amazon, itself. The difference could be in the metal of the blade, the degree of sharpness, or single/double edge.

It doesn't appear so. The replacement blades look specific to the manufacturer

I have wear marks at the joints and the lock, and the finish is worn off on the bottom half of the blade, but the handle (triangle) is basically perfect still. That is normal wear and tear (I use mine pretty hard and often). If it is worse than that you may have a lemon, but these are mil-spec(built to very high standards) so I doubt it. BTW, mine is stamped ames tru-temper.

Yes it is. The one I received was made in Taiwan, has the smaller finger choil and AUS-8 instead of AUS-6 steel.

I just returned from out of town and just now looked at the blade. Yes, it really is the 8700 model . . . it says so on the blade. I love it.

I just put a tape measure to it and I get 7 inches, for sure not 10. That's from one end of the blade to the other. I will say for it's size, it puts out the wind! I just noticed recently mine is making a bit of a grind noise, only happened a time or two. I tap it and the noise goes away, still I wonder if it will come back and stay. I do run it non stop a lot. Hope this helps.

Ya it's plainly marked on the blade made in China. Very disappointing. This was nowhere in the description.

Sean,I havent had an oppertunity to try it on my -10 but a sight is a sight. However, the way you zero it for your weapon changes. I think the Matech website gives the instructions for differnt weapons
