A lovely gift idea, but I agree that it is personal, so a place that does returns might be a good idea..
A good knife should last a good long time--I bought my 8" Henckels when they were pretty much the only game in town (1975-ish), and it is still usable--nearly a lifetime which is what the sales guy said at the time. Carbon steel, riveted (Bakelite? Plastic?) handle--it's the Trek of the knife world
The rivets are corroded (and one will be lost sometime in the next while--lots of citrus chopping over the years) but it will still hold an edge. Always hand washed, occasionally sharpened by pros, and touched up by me...
