The Knife Behind the Legend: Crocodile Dundee’s Blade
When it comes to movie knives, none is more iconic than the massive blade wielded by Paul Hogan in the 1986 classic Crocodile Dundee. The moment when Mick Dundee declares, "That’s not a knife… this is a knife!" while brandishing his famous bowie knife became an unforgettable cinematic moment. But what type of knife is it, and why has it become such a symbol of rugged adventure?
What Type of Knife Did Crocodile Dundee Use?
The knife used in Crocodile Dundee is a large bowie knife, characterized by its long, sharp blade and curved tip. Designed for survival in the harsh Australian outback, this type of knife is versatile, suitable for everything from hunting to self-defense. Dundee’s knife, with its oversized 10-inch blade, adds an extra layer of intimidation and practicality—fitting for a character that thrives in the wild.
