ProCook are still doing the x50 for a tenner, I'd say that's impossible to beat for the price

I want to get my brother a kitchen knife or 2 for his birthday.
He isn't a professional, just enjoys cooking.
Is there an alternative to ProCook for "decent" knife/knives for ~£50?
Current front runners are a 6.5" Nakiri and a 5" Utility knife (x50 range in ProCook)
Not sure if they are too similar and should maybe drop the utility in favour of a 3.5" paring knife?
I have a Nakiri (I got for free with a set I bought) and it is my go-to knife for prep work, so keen to get him one of those.
May just get him one of those but get the fanciest one I can afford?
