Price Reduction-Garcia Survival Knife Made in Brazil NOS with original box

[Hal Golightly]

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. 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 10 ¾” and weighs 12 oz for the knife and 12.5 OZ for the knife and sheath.
The knife is NOS in original box This knife and the sheath have been separately stored and both are in excellent unused ,unsharpened and has not been used or carried.
Because this knife was manufactured in response to the Vietnam War, 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.Was $250.00 now $195.00 shipped USPS. SPF
