Just trying to see common brands, recommendations, life-span, etc. Currently, I carry a Benchmade Griptilian (Full Size), w/ a Fenix Pd35. The Griptilian holds a amazing edge that never rusts. The Pd35 is definitely bright, and has different filters for (red, blue, green) available for different conditions. However, the Pd35 can get insanely hot, and one time accidentally clicked on and ended up burning through my pants, and getting a burn mark on my a$$.

When I was still teaching/working Swiftwater Rescue, I finally settled on a Spyderco Rescue 79 in a custom kydex sheath that I could lash to my PFD. It allowed one handed access and one hand opening. Love their knives. If I ever lose the knife a carry now, I will invest in a Spyderco Endura as a more all purpose knife.
The light in my gun safe is a Streamlight Protec series. All sizes and price ranges for your purpose.
Everyday knife is a Leatherman single bladed knife they don't make anymore. Partly serrated blade like some of the Spyderco knives and a 3" blade. Don't even remember where I bought it, but it's still doing the job and I have had it for at least 15 years. And that everyday light is still a Mini Mag, although this is my third one, lost two more, including the one that taught me not to buy camouflage flashlights. The one in my pack is older than my pocket knife.

Definitely take a look at the Spyderco Paramilitary 2/3 depending on the size you want. These are amazing, and a absolute must have.
