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

What sort of psycho puts them blades up? That's crazy.

Magnetic strips give me the heebie jeebies. I like a nice solid block instead.
