what was that large folder knife Croc Dundee had?

No problem whatsoever. I never felt besmirched .

I have no idea who makes the knife, they have no markings. And from my experience that's never a good sign.

Agreed

Unless I completely missed there being an actual knife brand called “Ducks Unlimited”, but I don’t think I did, Ducks Unlimited is a hunting/water fowl conservation membership organization that often has other manufacturer’s knives (Like Case, Schrade, and I’m sure many others) emblazoned with their logo and which are sold to/appeal to their members.

You don't have to prove anything.

But you did say the knife was given to Paul Hogan, and you're selling it, for a very high price, using his name. It also looks like you're using this thread to advertise the knife for sale.

I don't think it's unreasonable to inquire if there is anything whatsoever to indicate that Paul Hogan ever received or owned the knife.

I'm completely a fan of using a crucible. This is a superior knife forum is it not? It plainly is engraved as a gift. How elaborate of a hoax is this knife? You fellas are the experts- and some of the replies have been hilarious, yet not helpful at all. I come here only seeking knowledge. I surely wish it was marked, with pics and all. Who wants to own a fake. Thanks.

They probably stripped all identifying markings off of it for the movie...

I never claimed to be an expert, but here’s my take: Yours could very well be a gift engraved to the actor Paul Hogan by his crew. That said, I’m not sure what value a no-brand lockback knife engraved as a gift to Paul Hogan is worth in today’s market, but I highly doubt it was a prototype or one-off model of anything, just a big, generic lockback folder that was probably widely available (and fitting because his character notoriously used big knives), and engraved. It also doesn’t mean he ever personally owned, handled, or even received it. I will say It would be a very strange thing to hoax (maybe less weird in what, 1989, at the height of his popularity?).

Additionally, it doesn’t mean it’s the same knife, or even brand/model used in the movie, which I thought was what the OP was asking some 15 years ago, when you might still have been able to rent the movie at Blockbuster, but, heck, maybe it is.
