Garcia's Survival Knife was a copy of the Hackman Survival Knife, which was developed in response to a shortage of Randall 18 knives in the late 1960s. The Hackman Survival Knife was designed by Ken Warner and Pete Dickey and was manufactured in Finland. Garcia began manufacturing this knife in Brazil after Hackman stopped production. Garcia's knife had the same shape but was lighter with a 3/16" thick stainless steel blade instead of Hackman's ¼" thick blade. It was manufactured in Brazil and included a sheathed survival kit with a whistle, compass, whetstone and flint. As with the Randall 18 knife, the handle was hollow, waterproof and had space to store other survival items such as fishing line, hooks and matches, although many Vietnam vets also used this space for various pills.
