With the adoption of the M9, development of the M7 did not stop.
Ontario knife company reworked the handle and gave us the M7-B. I don't believe my example is an OKC made knife, though. Hecho en China.
The bayonet weighs 10.7 oz. and the scabbard 3.3 oz. (with shoelace).
There are no markings on the cross guard, unlike other M7's.
But you do get 'UAE' and the United Arab Emirates seal on the grip. An OKC made M7-B will have "US ARMY" and the Army seal in these locations. I have what is known as a "representative sample."
Along with the radical change in grip shape and materials, you also get a new way of attaching the grip to the hilt. It's the same method as the M9. The parts don't swap, though.
My example came with a VERY cheap version of the M10 scabbard. The cage code (9A148) claims it's made by Norcatec LLC.
Compare the webbing and snaps to this General Cutlery M10 scabbard.
It fits just fine. A perfectly cromulent bayonet for an AR/M16.
