Choosing your dive equipment is a highly personal matter. No item engenders more passion/feelings on the part of many divers than does the knifew. As a life time outdoor junkie I find there is nothing more comforting than a knife that fits my hand. Even if all I use it for is to open bags of chips, making shavings for a fire, or cracking walnuts it is what makes me feel comfortable. It does not have to make sense to anyone but me. Somehow scissors, regardless of how functional they are, do not have the same cachet.
