Is a hook knife always the best way to go? They make 6" (3" blade, 3" handle) titanium, blunt (so you don't stab yourself or your kite) diving knives with carrying case like this one http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-30/0...-BC-Knife.html You can also get a 20" retractable leash for it so you don't loose it or drop it? Good choice or too much?

Some hook knives are better than others in some respects. Two blades converging in a good cutting zone are optimal. In an emergency it is easy to not only drop the knife but also cut yourself with some that have a wide enough gap.
Some guys use short diving knives. If you go with one I would suggest an effective serrated edge. Whatever you use I would make sure it is easy to grab and hard to tangle. Some guys have sewn retaining pads on to their spreader bar pad to accomplish this. As useful as a retaining lanyard might be I would be careful with using one due to tangle risks or at least with line with a significant breaking strength.
