Best Answer

Many dive knives have blunt (squared-off) tips. This makes them safer. You're not likely to need a sharp-tipped knife underwater. You're more likely to just need the cutting edge. Sharp tipped knives tent to snap off and break when prying at things. The blunted tip is more practical as you never need to stab anything but you often need to pry things underwater.

A sharp knife is what you need for cutting line and old netting etc.

What is the difference between a dive knife and a regular knife?

Diving knives are made from highly stain resistant alloys, e.g. H1, X15TN, titanium alloys, etc. Regular knives can use either stain resistant or plain carbon steel. Special stainless(stain resistant) steels used in dive knives resist corrosion very well, but the downside is reduced edge holding ability compared to carbon steel or conventional stainless steels. Also, diving knives very often have rounded or no sharp tip to avoid accidental piercing of the suit or other underwater equipment. More on knife steels in the attached link.
