Garcia Knife, JACQUES GARCIA-HACKMAN SURVIVAL FIXED BLADE 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 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 sparker. Like the Randall 18, the handle was hollow, watertight and had space to store additional survival items like fishing line, hooks and matches.Blade is 6 3/4”, OAL 10 ¾” and weighs 12 oz for the knife and 1#2.5 OZ for the knife and sheath. This knife’s sheath was adapted to fit the military system of attaching to the GI webbed belt. Printed on the back of the sheath is Brazil.”This knife is very shiny, and very hard to photograph.Knife Name: Garcia Knife, Garcia-Hackman Survival KnifeCondition: Seems unused & uncarried, unmodified, factory edgeMarkings on Blade: “Garcia” logo; Jacques Stainless “J” BrazilBlade Length: 6 ¾”Overall Length: 11 ¾”Weight of Knife: 11.4oz (hollow handle is hollow)Weight of Knife in Sheath : 1lb read more
