I think VG10 or similar is a good gifting steel. Easier to maintain, stainless, gets very sharp.
A small Japanese petty knife as a paring knife, same brand as above for matchy matchy.
For a bread knife, get a Victorinox bread/pastry knife with Rosewood handle, or maybe the opinel one? I’m not sure high end Japanese steel is needed for bread.
