Wusthof: fashionably late to the party?

Wüsthof has a rel­a­tively new line of knives, called the Clas­sic Ikon line. It looks really familiar.

In fact, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a more expen­sive ver­sion of the Vic­tori­nox Forged Pro­fes­sional line of solin­gen knives (which, by the way, I have already raved about because they're excel­lent Euro­pean knives at a fan­tas­ti­cally afford­able price).

For the record, if you find a local cut­lery shop which car­ries the Vic­tori­nox line, you'll often find it dis­counted deeply beyond MSRP. You know, if you're into sav­ing money.
