Similar knives, different blades?

Hi!

What is the difference between "IROKA" and a [whale logo] below? They seem to be identical in all other ways?

Almost, grinds look a little different.

Thanks but you get the drift. Why's one stamped with a whale and the other, well, not quite that?

Both do say Germany.

Well, probably because they were made by two different manufacturers. The whale stamp is Richartz, Carl Wittgens used the IROKA name....
How about pictures of the actual knives in question?
