One of the common traits of Japanese knives Australia is the WA handle. This is a traditional Japanese knife handle and just like a lot of aspects of Japanese kitchen knives, the design is functional, simple and beautiful. There are two simple styles of knife handles- Japanese-style handles and Westernised handles. Both the Yo and WA handle has a lot of utility and your choice will come down to your preferred ergonomics, weight and which one you think is more beautiful. https://www.koiknives.com/
