GF is looking to buy her brother some kitchen knives, they've got loads, but they are all blunt as fuck, she's thinking of buying him these

I looked at these and thought this would be better

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..

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:

I agree re: spending more on the knife, the thing is, not sure I can convince GF to do that, and also worry that he won't maintain it, therefore defeating the object of having one good knife..
But equally don't want to get him some knockdown tat, which aren't very good to begin with..
