Traditional straight-sided aluminum kettlePlated wire bail handleFlat cover lid with a riveted "D" ring on itMade in the USA
Oh fun! $500 is a good amount to work with. I am going to assume he has absolutely nothing as you said full kit.
This folding saw is just awesome, and on sale! I've had one for many years. About $22.
This Knife is a lot more heavy duty than the Moras people will inevitably recommend (not that there is anything wrong with them). It's also a lot more expensive. I think it would make a nice gift. Also on sale. $104.
A pot $15.
A Silnylon tarp $63.
Gotta have paracord $10
There are a lot of firesteels out there but this one was uber cheap and looks just like the one I've had for years. >$2.
I would HIGHLY recommend a small forest of Hultafors, Wetterlings, or Gransfors Bruks make. I couldn't find a good link for them on Amazon. They'll be about $150
All told that list(including and axe) is about $360 before tax and shipping) Obviously a pack to put it would top it all off and bring you pretty close to $500 mark. It's just too personal a choice and I can't begin recommend one.
What stuff if any does he have already? A blanket or sleeping bag could be a good choice. A small alcohol stove too.
I'm a fan of This Open Country Aluminum Kettle - http://www.amazon.com/Open-Country-Aluminum-Covered-Kettle/dp/B001OPHFJO/
It is lightweight, it packs well, and it includes a bail handle and a cover. I combine this with 1 or 2 MSR nesting bowls, a metal cup, a metal nalgene sized water bottle and a spork and almost all of my cooking needs are taken care of.
