Here is a very handy pair.
The revolver is a Smith and Wesson .357 magnum 686 7 shot from the Performance Center. The grips that came with it are quite beautiful, but totally unusable for my hand. The Pachmyers on it are enhanced by a bit of grip tape. It's cylinder is prepped by the Performance Center to accept full moon clips.
The knife is Buck's model 692 in a model 192 leather sheath. I prefer the leather sheath and the rubber gripped Vanguard knife for general usability. The looks of a wooden handled Vanguard can't be beat, but to keep a good grip, the rubber handle stays in my hand much better.

It was rainy today, so I put this handy pair together for a bit. They often go outside with me, sometimes together.

The ammo is Speer 158 grn .38 +P gold dot. I carry it in any .38 or .357 revolver I may have on me. I got several boxes on sale many, many years ago. It's almost gone through practicing. I'll have to find a new load in a couple more years.

How accurate is your S&W? I have a snub nose Charter Arms and at 7 yds I'm lucky to keep my shots on the paper, your's does have better looking grips, mine just has smooth wood grips and they look smaller than yours.

Following Dave's format, this is my King Cobra with a hunting knife from an unknown maker that my F-I-L gave me and that he believed was made in the late 1800s.

It took me quite a few rounds to get the Colt on paper, but once I figured it out, it performed just like I had hoped it would.
