Knives being store on a magnetic strip - handles up or handles down?

Handles down. Scissors are handles up, though, mostly because the handles are bulky. Potato peeler is horizontal on the end.

Handles down. (Learned that one the hard way.)

Bad things happen with handles up? The strip is behind my toaster oven, now, and reaching the handles, if they are down, is a little awkward. I thought I had them handles down for a rason but I couldn't remember what the reason was.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I had heard about that plot point in Breaking Dawn, but it still makes me go "Seriously?" every time.

I knocked into them and [squeamish font] sent a chef knife plunging through my big toe. But it sounds like where yours are it wouldn't be the same issue.

Rightly so!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That is a brilliant TARDIS. Your son rocks.

Well done, Owen!

Ouch, brenda, I definitely don't want to do that! And I should be able to remember such a vivid image, so thanks.
