GARCIA JACQUES STAINLESS BRAZIL KNIFE VIETNAM ERA GARCIA USED SURVIVAL KNIFE1960s Vietnam Era Jacques Garcia Survival knife.The Garcia was a copy of the Hackman Survival Knife that was developed in response to a shortage of Randall 18 knives for the Vietnam War in the late 60's early 70's. The Hackman Survival Knife was designed by Ken Warner and Pete Dickey and produced in Finland. The Garcia came out after the Hackman stopped production and was shaped the same but it was a lighter knife with a 3/16th thick stainless steel blade instead of Hackman's ¼" thick blade. It was made in Brazil and featured a survival kit in the sheath with a whistle, compass, sharpening stone and flint striker. Like the Randall 18, the handle was hollow, watertight and had space to store additional survival items like fishing line, hooks and matches, although many Vietnam Vets used the space as well for needed pills. Blade is 6 3/4", OAL 11 3/4"KNIFE IS VERY VERY WORN. BUT IT IS SOLID. SHEATH IS FREE AND IS HOMEMADE.NO SURVIVAL ITEMS INCLUDED.GOING TO SHIP IN A MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX AS IT IS HEAVY
