So, I happened to find an old traditional-style Korean kitchen knife, and bought it. It's the top one:
Have yet to clean & use. The handle is approximately round, but natural wood and not straight. It fits my hand well. Middle-aged Koreans describe it as "a knife like my grandmother used".
The bottom knife is modern, one of the number of traditional-style knives inspired by the hugely successful Korean historical drama Dae Jang Geum, about the life of a royal cook: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dae_Jang_Geum
