The general way to place the Japanese knife is the same as wearing: the longer knife the blade will be placed downward, the shorter knife the blade will be placed upward, if two different length of knifes, most people will put longer knife above the shorter knife. When you face the knife standing, the handle direction will be on the front side of the left, this mean non-threatening and polite.
