Get the shears. Then get a big-ass SS knife to go on your calf just because.

The perfect knife is the one left at home. You won't need it.
What if you do and dont have it?
Then I guess you are screwed but neither myself nor my numerous dive friends have ever needed a knife on a dive. As a matter of fact our dive club had a big spring party this past Saturday and this very topic came up. There were probably 8 or 10 of us sitting at one table and someone brought up about carrying a dive knife. Not one single person at the table has ever needed a knife while on a dive and as a group, we represented 1000's of dives. As a matter of fact, no one in the group actually knows anyone who has ever needed a knife during a dive. They do come in handy on the boat now and then but that's about it.
