DGX Sharp Cut on right waist

Trauma shears on left waist

@compressor: a 2" long piece of bicycle inner tube on your shoulder strap and one of these pouches would easily hold your shears there without risk of just dropping them:

I haven't voted as the location is not listed. I have this diver knife mounted on my BCD right pocket on the outside, below the integrated weight pouch.

Haven't got a chance to use it underwater for the past 12 years & hopefully would never need to use it while diving (knock on wood). I use it above water once in a while to cut tyrap or as screwdriver.
 
all of the above?


- shears in a sheath on my pocket shorts or in my pocket if in dry suit
- trilobite/ez-cut on the strap of my pdc
- knife on waist band (long hose retainer)
- trilobite/ez-cut on vertical straps of my harness
- trilobite/ez-cut on waist band of my harness

the locations of harness mounted cutters are rig dependent.

Yes, that is a sweet knife. I still prefer and use my line cutter and shears. Almost always fishing line.

I like that knife. I mounted mine on my crotch strap. If things ever get that bad, then I'm likely to instinctively grab my...... KNIFE

Strapped to my SM rank, another on my harness, occasionally on my wrist or crotch strap. Depending where I am, what I'm diving and what cutting tools I have available.
Hopefully not a BFK on the crotch strap.
