Best thing to buy for $100
My big 3 are a good multi tool or knife (solid steel like magnacut, s35vn, nitro v etc and leatherman wose arc or alpha is a good start though out of the 100 dollar budget) a good flash light, and a really high quality titanium pen. The pen would be my number one as you will never loose a pen you spend more than 3 dollars on and it will save you so much money in the long run and will likely out last you. I have 5 pens all around 60 bux that i guard with my life and have had for over a decade.

The Leatherman Wave. Carried it for 15 years. It’s my entire tool box sometimes

Best Buy it for Life Gift?
Leatherman Wave. Versatile, solidly built subjectively better than an equivalent Swiss Army Knife (and I have both).

Which model of Leatherman?
Wave+ in my opinion. Have used wingman, rev, classic wave, and wave+ is really good.

BIFL: tactical knife under $50?
I would suggest a leatherman wave.It is a multitool instead of a knife but it does have both a straight and serrated balde on it. They are incredibly versatile and I am pretty sure they have a 75 year warranty. Now they typically cost around $110 new. But they typically float around $40 to $60 used on ebay. I bought a used one years ago and haven't yet regretted it. The steel is quite decent and they are durable enough that you shouldn't need to worry about buying used. http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?isRefine=true&_pgn=4&_nkw=leatherman+wave&_sacat=75236&_dcat=75236&cnm=Pocket%2C+Multi+Tools&LH_BIN=1&_sop=15
