This verges on actually mattering, but knives on magnetic strips should be blade down.
Pros:
-
when grabbing the knife you are holding it in the safest way possible automatically with the blade pointed down rather than blade up like fucking Chucky.
-
If you botch grabbing it, it falls away from your hand/arm rather than toward/on top of it.
-
the handles hook over the strip and are more secure
-
the handles are all on the same plane, and again if you dislodge a separate knife unexpectedly it falls away from your hand/arm




In my experience, most people for some reason. Honestly I usually get push back on this, I’m not used to people agreeing with me. There’s usually at least one person for example that tries to claim it’s safer for the knife since if it falls the tip is more protected when up.
