DK being US made they will most likely be a UNF or English thread pitch and not metric so m10's won't fit.  A good nut and bolt shop should be able to help you get the right thread type  :daumenhoch:.

5/16 UNC is what the usual fit is for most stems, you'll get 6 of them in stainless steel off ebay for around £4 delivered
