Probably from the DIR divers, who dive caves and adhere to a different overall philosophy, which meets their particular needs.
DIR extends past cave diving, I don't know much about it, but I do know that from watching the 2004 DIR dvd.
 
I carry a Zeagle knife and shears in a side pocket for backup (attached to a lanyard).

My primary knife is a USN Mk3 Mod 0 dive knife (6" blade, 420 stainless) on the BC.
It streamlines nicely. Also, I can get a good grip on it with gloves.

The old USN knife makes an excellent tank banger, can cut a variety of materials, and is actually big enough to be useful. And it's not that big. Also, it has a tried and true locking sheath with snaps. Been diving 12 years and haven't lost it yet.
