Well, I guess I'm different and so maybe that's why manufacturers make knives in both tip up and tip down. I have them both ways and it really seems to depend on the knife which way it works best. I even have a couple that I wish were the other way
There's a lot of dissagreement about tip up or down an=mong the best makers out there. My Crawfords are all tip downers while my Terzuolas are tip up. I don't think you can find two folk who have designed more successful knives than Crawford and Terzuola.
But today, there are more and more fixed blade options. Once a couple of the pioneers like Fitch and Primos started making smaller tactical knives that could either be concealed in a pocket sheath or worn with a fancy sheath like an accessory, many of the other makers have climbed on board. I find that I can wear my Dress Tactical just about everywhere and because it doesn't look threatening, no one really objects.
