Knife or shears (depending on dive environment) on waist belt, and Eezycut Trilobite on wrist computer strap.
 
I voted on my computer, but it's a bit more complicated.

I have a Benchmade 7 safety cutter on my Petrel. I also have one on my wrist slate. I always have both, so I always have one on each wrist.

My backmount rigs have a DIR style knife/shears pocket that I use to hold my long hose.

My butt pouch and/or pockets may have shears and BFK depending on where I am and what I'm doing, but for 99% of my diving, it's just the Benchmades and the hose holder bit
 
Can only vote for one position? OK, strap on my DC. Linecutter.

The other is a set of EMT shears velcroed to my chest strap at the "Pledge of Allegiance" position.

Knives are fun, but never really needed one...

I'm glad lowiz put the picture up. I have struggled with this as to how to secure it without the risk of losing it if my trim is poor.
 
I have a knife on my waist belt, a trilobyte on my left shoulder strap, and shears in a pocket on the right side of my dive shorts.
 
Trilobyte on my wrist computer strap. I also have an Ocean Quest Folding Titanium Dive Knife with Sheath that I thread my BP/W waist strap through. Love my Trilobyte for cutting kelp, when needed.
