I dive with a pig sticker on my inside my calf (sorry, I learned old school and still like it), a Z knife on my BC (soon to be replaced by the OMS titanium line cutter) and a pair of shears in my pocket.
The Z-knifes are great, and I wouldn't bother replacing it but they rust like crazy and the blades are not replaceable. Two Z knives and I can pay for the OMS titanium and never worry about it again.
At some point I will be replacing the pig sticker with the Halcyon titanium little knife on my bp/w waist strap.
I love titanium. I hate cleaning gear, and the fewer pieces I have the disassemble and rinse and specially dry to avoid rust, the better.
Other people seem to lose expensive gear all the time, but I am either very careful, very lucky, or some combination, because I don't lose my gear, and I am very careful to securely return anything that I deploy.
