Google led me to their site, which told me they're Corsican knife makers. Do you want that very specific type of knife, or chef knives in general?
Not a special one, just a chef knives in general
Budget? Preferences? Work area?
Cheapest serviceable blades can be found from restaurant supply stores. I would start there until you start learning about knives and how to care for them. If you have disposable income and take them to a professional to be sharpened, it's still good to try various cheaper knives first and learn some of your preferences, but that's up to you.
ive been using a knife I got for one Dollar for about a year now. Ive sharpened the fuck out of it a few time because it was kinda dull when I bought it. I dont put the knife through hell and dont cook for a living, so I honestly dont see a point in getting a high grade knife.
Why do you need a knife that looks like its meant for 1v1 knife duel?
What are you going to stab with it?

When you get a real knife and actually care about how you use it it will matter.

But that's a hunting knife, look at how the blade isn't sharpened all the way to the heel. There's no knuckle clearance for board work. It's obviously for skinning deer or something.

Deep. Nice job.
Victorinox is an excellent company for a starter chef knife. I own two of them, an 8-inch and a 10-inch, and they've held up for three years without needing to be sharpened.
Granted, they can't cut straight through bone like my zwilling pro, and the plastic handle is heat-sensitive so be careful when working near a stove, but for $50 you're not going to find much better.

The exact one you linked is pretty expensive at 180 euros. It doesn't mention what type of steel it uses beyond 'carbon', it has a terrible full bolster which gets in the way while cutting, and its blade is only 7" long, too puny for kitchen work.
If you want to find a good knife get one that mentions what kind of steel it uses, is at least 8" in blade length, and does not have a full bolster.
