Victory Knives have a proud heritage stretching from 1927 until today.

Edward Goddard, a master cutler from Sheffield, England, emigrated to New Zealand and began designing and manufacturing knives in 1927. World War II was a significant period in the history of E. Goddard which became a major supplier of combat knives for the U.S. Army.

E. Goddard made and sold his knives under the brand Victory and over the many years Victory Knives have grown to be synonymous with high quality and robustness by the industy professionals who demand more than any from their tools.

Victory Knives continues to thrive today by maintaining the highest standards in manufacture and materials, building it's reputation for unsurpassed quality - at solid prices.
