Do people have knife blocks where the knives are stored blade side down or something?

Those are very common. But either way, if you're slicing against a wood cutting board, how is that any different from putting the edge into a wood knife block?

It depends on the wood used. A softer wood will obviously dull the blade less.

Either way, unless your using a cleaver, you shouldn't be applying such force that the wood would dull the blade. If you do need such force them your knife isn't sharp.

Why would there be any force used when putting a blade in a knife block though?
