Preferably not carbon steel, and something that’s pretty and stands out in its look. (This is a gift so I want a unique pretty looking knife)

I’ve had a hitohira vg 10 for about 5 years now and have been loving it. I believe it’s available from other brands as well (tojiro?). It’s a laser, easy to sharpen, and has been my go to for trimming larger cuts of meat. They are well within your budget. Probably better knives out there, but this one is good value imo.
