Current front runners are a 6.5" Nakiri ... (x50 range in ProCook)
I have this knife. It's nice but for a one knife I'd probably prefer a chef's knife with a bit more weight. It also doesn't feel the same quality as the slightly pricier (picked up from TK Maxx) Henckel's/Wusthof/Zwilling (I can't remember which one) knife I have
I'd also say just get one and get something fancier.
Edit: It's this one I have from ProCook, a bit pricier than the standard X50 https://www.procook.co.uk/product/professional-x50-chef-nakiri-knife-165cm-65in

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?
