Hackman Survival knife of Finland

Vietnam Era Survival knife; Hackman of Finland. 

Designed by Ken Warner and Pete Dickey for Hackman, this rare knife was made during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Only a few thousand were made by Hackman with a 1/4" blade made in Finland. Many more were produced as a clone was by Jacques in Brazil with a 3/16" blade for Garcia . The Hackman Survival Knife was intended for private sale to military personnel bound for Vietnam. The Randall Model 18 had made the hollow handle sawback popular with the troops, but Randall could not keep up with demand. Like the Randall this knife featured a watertight hollow handle and a massive 1/4" thick stainless-steel blade.

This knife shows minor use, there are small scratches on the blade. Leather sheath, knife handle and blade are all nice and tight. The survival kit is included,  a whistle, compass, missing spark rod, sharpening stone lid over a cache of hooks. Overall exceptional condition. Judge for yourself from the photos.  inv. 0724
