I think the need for total conformity in issues like this has been overstated and overvalued. I find that if I need a cutting device, which is pretty darn rare, I have no trouble remembering where mine are.I thought of this too. If this cutting tool goes there, then it probably should stay there permenantely so as to build muscle memory. Normally the knife or cutting tool goes in the front and left side. Doesn't it?
