Robert Erickson is a maker you might want to talk to. I have a few of his knives including a couple kitchen knives. His work is top notch and he is great to work with and get exactly what you want. This is one of his that I have and use all the time.

Hello! My cousin is getting married in 5 short months. He is a lover of fine craftsmanship and knives. I am looking to buy him his first Japanese style chef knife. Budget up to $500. If there is a way to get him a chef knife and a petite or paring knife as well that would be great. Thanks for your recommendations!

Googl;e and check out "Chef knives to go".
A;ll fitrst rate Japanese knives, wide range, good prices and service.
You can eaily pickup up a Gyuto (or Santoku) plus Petite or Paring for that budget.

Are you superstitious?

If so. It's said that it's bad luck to gift a knife. It's said that gifting a knife will cut the friendship.

It's proper to exchange the knife for a nickel, 5¢.
 
Kitchenknifeforums has a great Buy/Sell/Trade section. There are a ton of knives on there right now that fit your specs. Most will blow the wustoff/shun/miyabi offerings out of the water when it comes to performance.

Will probably want to think about carbon steel vs. stainless and what your friends tolerance level of maintenance will be. Carbon is fun to sharpen and watch patina if you're down for washing it after using and not waiting until after the meal.

210mm (~8") is a great length for someone's first Japanese knife. A lot of the pros working in a kitchen will go longer, but 210 will cover most home needs.

My top reco for a carbon blade would be to get a Morihei Hisamoto Fine Finish from protooling that is currently 25% off. The "fine finish" option is critical and this knife will be pretty reactive at first but settles down once a patina is built. Other names out there to look in to -

Toyama (offeres a nice stainless clad chef knife with great edge retention),
Fredrick Spare - look for one with higher bevels from him
(Nahito) Myojin - anything he does cuts well
Bjorn Birgesson - less reactive carbon steel, nice edge retention
Eddworks - slightly thinner, but they cut
Migoto Cutlery - well balanced all around knife
Y. Tanaka (not to be confused with S. Tanaka!) - one of the top blacksmiths in Japan

A solid stainless that should be readily available at retailers right now is Takamura R2. With black friday sales you'll be out the door for under $200. On the thinner side and doesn't have the handmade feel as much, but they are a great low maintenance performer.

Could also think about a $300 knife budget and a couple stones so he can maintain this generous gift! For sharpening stones I'd recommend either 1 stone at 1000 grit or if you go for 2 I like Shapton Glass 500 grit and a Belgian Blue Whetstone/Coticule combo stone. MTC kitchen has the SG500 on sale 20% off now and Ebay is the place for Belgian Blue stones.
 
I would never buy a "used" knife to give as a wedding gift. And I can;t iimagne anyone getting mattied wanting to receive one either.
