Cutter --- Palio or Swiss Army Knife. Xikar's are nice futuristic looking cutters ... but awkward and uncomfortable to use without extensive practice.
Lighter's --- too much varying opinion, and ton's of debate exists on these forums (try a search). My advise is get the good deals on the 'Lucky Torch' (Blazzer knock-off), the Ascot lighter (mine has worked well for a couple of years now), or any of the 'I don't care if it doesn't work after awhile, or if I lose it' throw away torch (jet flame) lighters.
