Victorinox Tinker Knife
I've carried a Victorinox knife since I was about 10. I do sometimes carry a simple blade, but a Swiss Army knife is absolutely essential in my EDC for fixing stuff, maintaining things and generally being handy.

Everusely Stainless Steel Bento Box
My wife has carried this stainless steel bento box to work for nearly 10 years. The divided food container is dishwasher safe and made without soldered compartment seams. Its silicone band keeps the lid in place, but the box is not leakproof when turned upside down, so keep it upright and use the included condiment cup for liquids.

Bison Belt
A durable belt that won't slip. It's smoke jumper approved! I like that the excess belt has velcro that keep it from flopping around. It's professional looking and the buckle has a nice finish.

Disposable Penlights
A nice concentric beam of light, a nice pocket clip, and a pupil gauge. This is pretty much a commodity item, but some of the cheap ones are better than others. These seem to be above average for their price point. I really like that they are cheap enough to toss when you need to!
