The Japanese Knife Company is often quoted. I bought the cheap Nakiri - https://japaneseknifecompany.com/product/jkc-sushi-nakiri-170mm/
That meets your price range. I've had it for five years now. I love it. I use it all the time. I bitterly regret not buying a nicer looking one, and the handle falls off occasionally. Don't buy it as a present for someone.
Other people will be along with more positive suggestions, sometimes involving TKMaxx, and you might as well get in first before all the last minute shoppers do.

Pro Cook X50 range is under budget, but very good.
Xmas requests are tricky tho as you also want it to look a bit gifty, rather than a fibrax victorinox

Has a nice range with physical stores in W Hampstead, Angel (in the old PO), and unsurprisingly Borough Market (under the bridge). I think there is something to be said for going into a shop and holding them.Edit just seen how small their range now is on their website - maybe call your nearest one to check stock.

Victorinox do a 19cm wood handled chef's/carving knife or a 17cm Santoku knife for £50 list price. I'm sure you can get them cheaper than that.

any recommendations for good quality general purpose kitchen knife (6-7 inch blade) for circa £50.
its an Xmas gift request. Are any of the Japanese blades for this price actually any good?
