      Keeping the weight to the bottom makes more sense, besides being way less awkward to grab.

        And with point-down, when you grab a handle, your hand isn’t underneath a bunch of knife blades.

      Well, my thinking was that I am very clumsy, and if the knife slips out of my fingers when the edge is up that I might slice my hand open. But possibly it is more natural and easy to grab from the bottom and that will more than outweigh any extra safety from having the blade pointed down.
