ProCook are still doing the x50 for a tenner, I'd say that's impossible to beat for the price https://www.procook.co.uk/product/procook-nihon-x50-chef-knife-20cm-8in?
I had an Eden I'd put on about the same level, maybe a nicer handle. https://uk.knivesandtools.eu/en/pt/-eden-quality-classic-damast-chef-s-knife-20-cm.htm?
As it's a present maybe go for the one with the fanciest handle for the money https://uk.knivesandtools.eu/en/pt/-due-cigni-1896-2c1009no-chef-s-knife-20-cm-walnut-wood.htm
