It might help if you could take and post clearer pictures. They are so blurry/out of focus that it is impossible to make out the gold stamp on the leather scabbard. As there are apparently no marks on the knife, that is the only clue.

Better but the only Victory knife I can find is in New Zealand. Could that be the one? The Registered Trademark symbol ® is pretty much international, but can't be sure it applies to NZ. In any case, if it is from there, it must be old as the current models are quite different from yours. Good luck!
