I switched my Leek to tip-up, but the clip position makes it ride about half an inch higher, which means quite a bit of knife sticking out. Tip down works just as well for me, so I will probably switch it back at some point.

I get the reasoning behind tip-up carry, but as a practical matter it doesn’t seem to provide a real advantage. Tip-down, I grasp the knife at the pivot, very close to where I hold it in use. Tip-up I grasp the tail of the knife. The knife is oriented the right way, but I have to move my hand. Six of one...

Of course, if the knife is waved, it has to go tip-up.
