I have a 3 inch knife. My biggest criteria for a dive knife is that it be in easy reach if and when I need it which I hope I never do.

Well, Jim, I have to be honest and say that underwater junk yards hold very little attraction for me.
I can also say that the wannabe with the big knife I saw on the boat the other day wasn't a wreck diver--he was doing his AOW deep and nav dives that day. It could be that he'll eventually do super-dangerous wreck penetration and have a good excuse for carrying his Rambo-worthy knife, but as with most guys who carry huge knives even when they're not doing wreck-penetration dives, for now it's all for show.
