A rare vintage 1960s to 1980s U.S. pilot's military survival saw, weighing 1 lb. 8 oz, featuring a hacking/fishing back saw with a fully riveted "bentwood (no freeze)" handle and blade. The saw measures 21 3/4" in length, with a 16 1/8" blade that boasts all sharp teeth. The dual grip, double-sided bentwood handle is designed for two-handed ice or escape sawing, while the single grip is ideal for "machete-like" single edge hacking. The handle is reinforced with six flat rivets, encasing a heavy steel or likely alloy band and secured with three heavy round-head rivets to the blade.
