as for a knife/tool i suggest a multi tool. Its been a huge help for me. I got a leatherman rebar. got a knife, saw, file, heavy pliers and about 14 other tools in it. weighs about 1.5lb. Its the only thing i grab when im setting up my stand or clearing shooting lane and just going hunting, strap it on my belt and im ready.. the blade is 420hc steel. no gut hook but its not hard to gut a deer with out one. I never really considered one for hunting and outdoors work till i got one.
You are right about the multi tool. I've used mine many times. As someone else already said, sounds like you already have a release. If not you'll need to get one.
