Victory Knives – A Proud New Zealand Heritage Since 1927
For nearly a century, Victory Knives has been a symbol of quality, precision, and durability. Founded in 1927 by Edward Goddard, a Sheffield-trained master cutler who emigrated to New Zealand, Victory Knives has grown into one of the most respected knife manufacturers in the world.
Our Story
1927 Beginnings: Edward Goddard began handcrafting blades under the name Victory, setting a benchmark for strength and reliability.
20th Century Milestone: During WWII, Victory Knives became a trusted supplier to the U.S. and Allied forces, building a reputation for rugged knives designed to perform under pressure.
Global Reach: Today, Victory Knives are widely used in the meat and fish processing industries in New Zealand, Australia, and worldwide.
Diving Legacy: Our Victory Diver’s Knife is internationally recognised and relied upon by commercial divers in extreme conditions.
Made in New Zealand, Built to Last
Victory Knives remain 100% New Zealand made, using premium German stainless steel combined with advanced heat treatment processes. Every knife is manufactured to meet world-class standards for sharpness, strength, and longevity.
Unlike mass-produced imports, Victory Knives are crafted with precision, and when stock runs low, we can often produce faster than overseas competitors without sacrificing quality.
Innovation Meets Tradition
While proud of its heritage, Victory Knives continues to innovate. In 2013, we designed what is believed to be the world’s first 3D-printed titanium knife for Emirates Team New Zealand, showing that our forward-thinking spirit remains as strong as ever.
