Interesting observation.... my locking serrated Master is the same and all non-serrated (non-locking) are toward the master blade. Oddly enough I have two Vic versions of the Wenger, S18 and Tool Chest Plus (S54 I think) with the non-serrated locking blade and they have the nail file facing away from the blade. So it could have something to do with the locking blade or Vic decided to orient the nail file one way only. Need more examples I think.Congrats on your Serrated Master, loving that knife.....
I can't begin to cite dates, but I think the forward facing file was the standard going way back, and only recently has it faced backwards.Im sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in with a definitive answer.

I have a 90s Commander with it facing inside and probably an early 2000s Highlander with it facing out, I like the facing out file better as it will spare you scratches on your blade
