Since 1927, Victory Knives has proudly represented the finest craftsmanship in New Zealand. Founded by Edward Goddard, a Sheffield-trained master cutler, Victory Knives quickly gained a reputation for precision, durability, and innovation. Nearly a century later, the brand remains a trusted name worldwide, renowned for producing NZ-made knives that combine traditional expertise with modern technology.
A Legacy of Quality and Reliability
From its beginnings in 1927, Victory Knives set the standard for reliable blades. During World War II, Victory Knives supplied the U.S. and Allied forces, building a reputation for toughness under pressure. This tradition of quality has continued, with the company now supplying knives across industries in New Zealand, Australia, and globally.
One of Victory’s most iconic products, the Victory Diver’s Knife, is recognised internationally for its performance in extreme underwater conditions. Whether on land or at sea, professionals and adventurers alike trust Victory Knives to deliver tools that will last.
100% New Zealand-Made
What makes Victory Knives unique is its commitment to being 100% New Zealand-made. Using premium German stainless steel and advanced heat-treatment processes, each knife is built for maximum sharpness, strength, and long-lasting performance. Unlike mass-produced imports, Victory Knives are meticulously crafted with care and precision, ensuring reliability in even the most demanding conditions.
Innovation Meets Tradition
While proud of its heritage, Victory Knives has continued to innovate. In 2013, the company created one of the world’s first 3D-printed titanium knives for Emirates Team New Zealand, demonstrating its ability to merge tradition with cutting-edge design.
