For flashlights, Surefire, don't mod them much except withrun of the mill parts, AW cells.

Knives, Chris Reeve, Bob Terzoula, and have a few Spydercos. Seem to really like the work of Ray Laconico for an affordable custom knife but haven't bought one yet. Very clean and nice lines.

Charles May, Randall (for strictly sentimental reasons because while I do love them they don't hold a candle to others when it comes to cutting), Dozier, Koster, Camillus.

Lights:

- SureFire
- Malkoff
- CMG

(the Infinity Ultra is virtually indestructible, and nicely satisfies the 'new' low-brightness craze, despite being almost an antique...my EDC Ultra ran through a washing machine years ago, and has been sunk to the bottom of a swimming pool several times, and still works flawlessly - but note that I do not like what Gerber did with the design later on)


Knives:

- Leatherman

(switched from dedicated knives ~10 years ago; not looking back)
