I will recommend Wustoff (since you asked for European) but no knife is BIFL unless you or whoever you gift it to maintain the knife aka sharpen time to time. Victrinox is good but it will loose sharpness very quickly (it’s mostly molybdenum). Korin in NYC makes Japanese knives with European handles and ergonomics. They also have in-house sharpening service. If you ever into Japanese knives (like me) that’s another rabbit hole lol… check Japanese Knives Imports. A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one!
