I happen to be a knife collector of sorts, and from what I can tell by the color of indy's pocket knife, it looks like an Old Timer brand. I have one that looks pretty close to it except that it has two blades. You should be able to find a look alike at any store that sells knives.
As for the ToD Sword, there are a lot of places on the net that say they sell "props" of it, but I know for a fact that United cultery sells a sword that is officially licensed by Lucasfilm. It is supposed to be a fancy version of the Temple of Doom sword. It is 23 inches long and has Indiana Jones's signature on the blade. It has a brass and wood handle with snakes engraved on it, with an eagles head at the end. It looks really cool, a true Indy collecors item.
So far, there have been 2 editions of the sword. The 1st edition came out in the mid to late 80's. It came with a leather case for the sword. This edition is very hard to find, but I might know where to find a couple. The 2nd edition comes with a plaque to hang your sword on. It has 3 gold pictures of Indy from the 3 different movies stamped on it. This is still available at certain knife shops, or you could call United Cutlery. Both come with a certificate of authenticity.
