I used the Scandi grind for hunting, fishing and camp kitchen with good success for many years. I was also good to fillet a trout or even bait fish. The brand I used was Martinii (has nice birch handle).
I switch to an other type of knife when I wanted to have a handmade knife desperately needed a knife with a droppoint blade and laminated scandinavian birch handle.
For kitchen knives Fiedr. Dick https://www.dick-messer.de/ is a good German brand. They have professional grade knives for good prices. Some of the portfolio might fit your budget.
