I would probably get him one good knife rather than compromise on a set, a santoku is versatile enough to cover 90% of duties.
I still come back to the Akifusa Tsuchime range (also known as Tadafusa), I paid £175 from the JKC and someone on here picked up pretty much the same blade for well under £100 from a German website I think (maybe theirs was Aogami 1 instead of A2).
Looks like this:

He does a lot of cooking, and a better set of knives would be good for him, though I know we would all like to spend more per knife than most of these sets allow. Budget is under a £100.
Any thoughts or suggestions let me know..
