Also known as "icepick" grip, this means holding the grip of a dagger, a sword, a katana or whatever so that the business end points the direction opposite to the thumb, in contrast to the usual point-up or "saber" grip.
There are advantages with this style of wielding a knife, namely that it facilitates certain grappling maneuvers (you can use the blade as a hook to assist in maneuvering the enemy, or to inflict damage during a grapple), defensive maneuvers (you can lay the blade against your forearm and let that take the blow of a heavier weapon instead of your wrist), allows for more powerful downwards and inwards strikes, allows for extreme angles of attack at extremely close range, and has sometimes been viewed as more intuitive (and thus easier to learn and apply) than the regular grip. That said, the wielder's reach is reduced compared to a forward grip, and it makes direct thrusts from below more difficult. Both point up and point down have their uses, and one may quickly switch between grips.
The reasons for using a reverse grip vary, depending on the character and work. The grip might be a tactical choice to facilitate blocking, grappling, slicing, downward stabbing motions or any combination thereof. It might be used in conjunction with Dual Wielding to provide a more diverse range of strikes. It might be the most convenient grip to use on a weapon that is drawn quickly. It might be used to indicate that the user is a hardened or experienced killer. Of course, it also simply looks cool.
The use of a sword in reverse grip takes the cool factor one step further, making for an exotic display of slicing in a figure of eight with a swimming motion of the arm and wrist. It can also be combined with spinning or dual wielding; a character with two swords can hold either one or both of them in reverse grip. Perhaps this is supposed to be the secret technique unknown to all those chumps who swing their sword the usual way. In reality this is Cool, but Inefficient. Biomechanical limitations as well as the different nature of how swords are used in fighting cause the reverse sword gripper to lose reach, cutting power, ability to parry or exert leverage in the bind, and ability to protect the sword hand. Admittedly there are useful historical techniques that involve reversing one's grip on the sword, but these are more situational and limited in application than what you tend to see in movies. See the Analysis page for details.
Related to Gangsta Style, with the difference beyond weapon types used being that the Reverse Grip can actually be practical if used in the right context.

Samurai Shodown's Nakoruru seems to use this form often. It also applies to Cham Cham; even though it's a giant boomerang, when she holds it in paw and swings it, it's done this way. Starting with the 3rd game, Ukyo Tachibana holds his sword this way for several of his attacks, usually strong normal sword strikes. Sogetsu Kazama also uses it, mainly in his standing strong slash. In Warrior's Rage though, this is a standard for Haito Kanakura.

Knife-wielders in the Fire Emblem games, or at least Sothe and Volke, appear to wield their knives this way in combat.
Though in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance it appears to be limited to the Thief class, as Volke switches to a much more relaxed forward grip.
There are no knives in Fire Emblem: Awakening, so all classes that would normally utilize knives use swords instead. Units in these classes hold their swords in a reverse-grip, which looks rather awkward (holding a long-bladed weapon in this fashion doesn't seem very comfortable or effective). Ironically, while Roy doesn't use the grip in his game, many of his attacks in Super Smash Bros for 3DS/Wii U has him swing his sword this way.
Zig-zagged Fire Emblem Fates, which brings the daggers back, but includes them with shurikens as "Hidden weapons". When the Nohrian Butler or Maid class uses them, they use them in a standard grip wherein they slash with them. But when the Hoshidan ninjas use them, they hold them in a reverse grip and slash or stab (Depending on the animation.)
Knives don't exist as weapons in Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but those with the Assassin class will hold their sword like this.

This style of wielding a blade makes a number of appearances on Highlander.
Duncan MacLeod has reverse-wielded his katana many times. He also does it with a claymore in "Homeland", and with a wakizashi in "Revenge of the Sword."
In "Brothers in Arms", both Charlie DiSalvo and Andrew Cord reverse-wield their weapons during their knife fight. In the same episode, Cord pulls off the unlikely feat of reverse-wielding a cavalry saber in a fight against Duncan.

Knives in every game starting with Modern Warfare can only be used in this way. In earlier games it could be interpreted that the reasoning is for a quicker draw. Call of Duty: Black Ops added a ballistic knife that could have its blade shot out to kill enemies at range, which would be harder to aim properly in a normal grip, but then its sequel lets you forgo a primary or secondary weapon and just use a knife all the time, which is also held in this manner just because.

12 Angry Men uses the trope as a point of contention between the jury. Allegedly the accused stabbed downwards into the victim using the reverse grip. However, Juror #5, who is from the slums, says that nobody who has experience in knife fights would ever use that grip with a switchblade: you have to hold the grip with your thumb on top to trigger the blade, and it would be suicide to pause for a second to change your grip in a fight.

In Attack on Titan Lance Corporal Levi does this with the sword he holds in his right hand when he utilizes his Spin Attack technique. This style comes in handy toward the end of the series, after he loses all the fingers besides his ring and pinky finger on his left hand. He picks up his blade in his typical reverse grip, with his remaining fingers on the trigger of the blade, and says, "Two fingers is all I need."

The Rogue class and Ninja job in Final Fantasy XIV. The /changepose command, when used by a male as a Samurai with the katana drawn, will perform some Weapon Twirling and then idle with the katana in a reverse grip; it's performed by a hired blade in one of the job quests, who is styled as a samurai.

Resident Evil:
Krauser in Resident Evil 4 holds his knife this way. Justified as he's clearly had military service (U.S. SOCOM). He also defies part of this trope in that, in his knife-fight with Leon (who usually uses a sabre grip), he didn't win. The fight was also something of a showcasing of various knife grips, seeing as they both switched from one grip to another so many times.

A number of dagger-type weapons in Warframe use this grip, such as the Ceramic Dagger and Dual Ether Daggers.
According to Geoff Crookes, the Animation Director of the development team behind Warframe, the Blind Justice stance mod applied to Nikanas (aka Katanas) is based on the reverse grip fighting style practiced by the fictional Japanese swordsman Zat�ichi. The name of the stance also alludes to Zat�ichi's blindness.

The Vorkosigan Saga never goes into exact detail about the technique involved in "the two swords", a relic of Barrayar's Time of Isolation used for duelling, but it's probably the sword-and-parrying dagger type of Dual Wielding so this trope likely crops up sometimes.

Baiken does this with her katana (which is her main weapon — she doesn't have an offhand weapon because she only has one arm, but she stuffs a lot of weapons in her other sleeve Inspector Gadget style). In her case, however, it's partly out of practicality and partly out of habit - she lost her right arm, which was most likely her dominant arm. Considering the weapons crammed into her right sleeve, a sheath there might get in the way, and so she wears it on the left, usually drawing it in a reverse grip because that would be the easiest way to draw it when the arm and sheath are on the same side. Of course, some of her fancier Rule of Cool steps in.

Twin Blades in .hack//G.U., as well as the original four games, always usually hold their blades like this; Sora from .hack//SIGN averts this standard by using a pair of katars.
In the games, the blades come in x general variants. A rough description of each would be daggers, katars, bladed shields, and claws. The daggers are held in a reverse grip, while every other weapon fits over the hand and wrist. Most Twin Blade weapons are daggers, and it is considered their "iconic" weapon. The purpose, in any case, is so that the character model can quickly go from a resting position to an attack strike, rather than having to raise its arm for leverage, like every other class. It's part of their Lightning Bruiser motif.

Zig-zagged Fire Emblem Fates, which brings the daggers back, but includes them with shurikens as "Hidden weapons". When the Nohrian Butler or Maid class uses them, they use them in a standard grip wherein they slash with them. But when the Hoshidan ninjas use them, they hold them in a reverse grip and slash or stab (Depending on the animation.)

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier wields his combat knife in this manner. When he needs more strength behind it, he grabs the pommel with his cybernetic left arm.
Frigga's preferred method when wielding a blade, as demonstrated in her fight against Malekith in Thor: The Dark World.
Loki is also fond of this style both in Thor: The Dark World (when he fights the dark elves) and Thor: Ragnarok (in a Knife Fight with Valkyrie).

Sora in general is prone to this since the very first game, with Zantetsuken. It carries with his Drive forms sometimes granting him a second Keyblade that he held in a reverse grip, serving as foreshadowing the fact Sora's heart houses Ventus' heart. He also temporarily uses Riku's Keyblade in an RG OUTSIDE of a Drive during the final battle.

Vader's apprentice Starkiller does it in The Force Unleashed and Soulcalibur IV with a lightsaber. While still not wholly practical, this is probably one of the best opportunities to use it since it's an omni-directional blade.
It's worth noting that in some situations he does adopt a regular grip, probably to get over the range handicap that reverse-gripping can produce. In Soulcalibur IV he always holds his saber with a reverse grip for his entire moveset.

In The Chronicles of Riddick, this is how the eponomous Anti-Hero holds his blades.note  This is one of the very few styles of blade actually meant to be held this way, being curved around the front of the fist, you would basically use them like you were throwing a punch to slash your opponent.

Ryougi Shiki of The Garden of Sinners often switches her grip several times over the course of a fight, and at one point even throws her knife from a reverse grip.
Similarly, Tohno Shiki from Tsukihime (Same universe, no relation, though similar names intentional due to similar powers) sometimes reverses the grip on his knife. This is actually a sign his Nanaya side is taking over.

In Final Fantasy XI, "katana" (which are actually ninja-to, kunai, and wakazashi) are always held like this. Naturally, the one class that gets skill in these weapons is Ninja, and it quickly gains access to Dual Wielding capability.

Gundam characters will on occasion use this style, and it's usually a mark of extreme skill on the part of the pilot, since the MS's are usually designed to wield their swords normally. Users include Anavel Gato during his mid-show duel with Kou, and the Gundam AGE-1 Spallow, which does this by default. Mu la Flaga (in the Perfect Strike) is also shown using this method during the Eyecatch.

The Wheel of Time:
The sword form "Heron Wading in the Rushes" has the sword held reversed over the head, while standing on one leg. According to the main character's teacher, it's good for practicing balance and getting yourself killed. Used (at the end of the book it was introduced in) as sort of a weaponized Taking You with Me or My Death Is Just the Beginning: by exposing himself to lethal damage, Rand gets his opponent to over-commit and thus expose himself to lethal damage.
The get yourself stabbed to get the enemy move is called "Sheathing the Sword". As Lan but it: "There will come a time when you must achieve a goal at all costs. It may come in attack or in defense. And the only way will be to allow the sword to be sheathed in your own body... when the price is worth the gain, and there is no other choice left to you. That is called Sheathing the Sword. Remember it."

Masato Kusaka, Kamen Rider Kaixa of Kamen Rider 555, does it mostly by necessity, since his sword blade extends from the butt of his gun. There are a few times he flips the weapon around and wields the sword in a normal grip, such as an instance where Takumi was incapacitated and Kusaka was preparing to murder him.

In the Final Fantasy series, dual wielded daggers are very commonly seen in the hands of thief and ninja characters and classes.
Zidane Tribal of Final Fantasy IX was possibly the first one, though the dual wielding part was purely visual.
The Thief Dressphere in Final Fantasy X-2
In Final Fantasy XI, "katana" (which are actually ninja-to, kunai, and wakazashi) are always held like this. Naturally, the one class that gets skill in these weapons is Ninja, and it quickly gains access to Dual Wielding capability.
In Final Fantasy XII, Judge Magister Gabranth holds the smaller of his two blades, Highway Star, in this manner when he splits his weapon in two. Which is odd, because the artwork (particularly the iconic logo) depicts him wielding both blades in a standard grip. The player obtained Ninja Sword weapon type are all wielded this way by all six party members as well.
The Rogue class and Ninja job in Final Fantasy XIV. The /changepose command, when used by a male as a Samurai with the katana drawn, will perform some Weapon Twirling and then idle with the katana in a reverse grip; it's performed by a hired blade in one of the job quests, who is styled as a samurai. Your job tutor immediately points out that it's no way to hold a katana.
Ignis and Noctis will at times wield daggers this way when equipped in Final Fantasy XV but they will also flip them to a standard grip just as frequently.
Rem Tokimiya in Final Fantasy Type-0 though she's more of a mage type than a thief type.
Locke Cole in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT uses a pair of daggers this way in contrast to the single dagger he normally uses in other appearances.

Super Sentai:
The Green and Pink Rangers of Seijuu Sentai Gingaman and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy would often wield their swords this way, while the others stuck to normal grip.
The Sixth Ranger in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger and Power Rangers Samurai combines this with iaido, the art of sheathing and unsheathing your sword for a fast strike. Awesome, but Impractical, you say? Don't bet on it.
Another example is Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger's Kyoryu Green, who specifically developed his feral reverse-hand grip style in opposition to his father's strict swordsmanship.
The Green Rangers of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger and Power Rangers Dino Fury occasionally hold their swords in reverse grip. Izzy is seen doing this even when not morphed.
Before all of that, Turbo Robo of Kousoku Sentai Turboranger would perform its Turbo Crash in this manner.

The Spy from Team Fortress 2 uses standard grip when attacking normally, but switches to Reverse Grip when Back Stabbing. Despite the fact that a reversed blade would be harder for actually stabbing someone other than in the back of the neck, the effect is actually designed for player convenience. Since taking a swing with the knife drops the spy's disguise effect, the animation of turning the knife indicates "if you swing now, you'll get your backstab". A handy tool for novice spies not yet used to the exact of their melee weapon yet. Experienced spies learn to fire off the stab within frames of the animation starting. Though the Spy does a backstabbing motion without the grip reversal when he performs a Critical Hit, except there are two limitations to this: the attack isn't insta-kill and the Spy's knives cannot perform a Critical Hit naturally.

In one short story of The Punisher, Frank provides a running commentary of one of the many fights he's involved in as part of his job, and one of the goons tries to stab him by wielding a knife in this fashion. Frank prefers to call this stance "the Anthony Perkins" for obvious reasons and labels the guy a complete amateur for using it (or at least for charging blindly while doing it).

Call of Duty:
Knives in every game starting with Modern Warfare can only be used in this way. In earlier games it could be interpreted that the reasoning is for a quicker draw. Call of Duty: Black Ops added a ballistic knife that could have its blade shot out to kill enemies at range, which would be harder to aim properly in a normal grip, but then its sequel lets you forgo a primary or secondary weapon and just use a knife all the time, which is also held in this manner just because.
Humorously enough, in World at War's American Marine campaign, failing the quick-time prompt when assaulted by a charging Japanese soldier results in the poor Marine getting a bayonet rammed through his chest, his hand (holding a knife in normal grip) slumping over to his side as he dies. If you succeed, he'll knock the bayonet aside just in time to get a stab in his attacker's neck, with the knife held in reverse grip. Being cool saves lives, people.

All the flashlight-wielding characters in Song of Horror use them in tactical (icepick) grip. One is a police officer and another is a security alarm technician, but an arts student and a publishing firm employee also do it.

This grip was also used by Mitsu in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, with a small dagger. Blink and you'll miss it, but it really helps cement the character.

In Battle Angel Alita, Alita wields a pair of elbow-mounted Damascus-style swords during her Motorball career, making it a cross between this and Blade Below the Shoulder. After she leaves Motorball, she keeps the reforged single blade wrapped in cloth in her apartment until she discovers Ido has been kidnapped by Desty Nova. When she is blown up by a doll bomb at the end of the original manga, it is assumed to be lost forever, along with Alita. In Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Desty Nova integrates the heavily damaged blades into her new Imaginos body, allowing her to summon one for each arm at will.

In Pokémon Reset Bloodlines, one of the new Pokémon Ash catches that he didn't have in the original timeline is a Farfetch'd (a Kantonian one, unlike the Galarian one he'd eventually catch in canon) whose fighting style revolves about wielding three leeks at once, one in each wing and the third on the beak. He's often depicted wielding the left leek this way.

There are no knives in Fire Emblem: Awakening, so all classes that would normally utilize knives use swords instead. Units in these classes hold their swords in a reverse-grip, which looks rather awkward (holding a long-bladed weapon in this fashion doesn't seem very comfortable or effective). Ironically, while Roy doesn't use the grip in his game, many of his attacks in Super Smash Bros for 3DS/Wii U has him swing his sword this way.

Cutter in ElfQuest uses his short curved sword New Moon in a reverse grip to slash his opponents. Panel 5 of this page from #15 of the original series (WARNING: violent battle scene) is the first time we see him use this technique note  The manga Kamui no Ken (The Dagger of Kamui) was a major influence on the artist, Cutter gets his technique straight from Kamui (which makes him some sort of elf-ninja).

Kingdom Hearts:
In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Ven wields his Keyblade like this. While his starting blade is designed with this in mind, with the grip offset from the shaft, all of his other blades are standard, straight Keyblades.
Saïx wields his claymore in a reverse grip.
And in 358/2 Days's Mission mode, secret character Sora flips to a reverse grip for the last hit of his ground combo when wielding the Dream Sword.
Sora in general is prone to this since the very first game, with Zantetsuken. It carries with his Drive forms sometimes granting him a second Keyblade that he held in a reverse grip, serving as foreshadowing the fact Sora's heart houses Ventus' heart. He also temporarily uses Riku's Keyblade in an RG OUTSIDE of a Drive during the final battle.
In Riku's final cutscene prior to the True Final Boss in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], he does this to break free from Ansem-SoD, who was sitting on top of him: he "un-summons" his Keyblade, only to re-summon it immediately, only backwards, in order to swing it upwards.
Mulan in the Land of Dragons also holds her sword in a reverse grip after abandoning her disguise as Ping, where she used the standard grip instead.
Kingdom Hearts III shows that Lea wields his new Keyblade in an unorthodox way, wielding it by the hand guard, in a manner reminiscent of his chakrams.

An important plot point in one episode of Quincy, M.E.. From the angle of the knife wound, Quincy could tell that the murderer stabbed his victim using such a grip. This cast doubt on their prime suspect, because their prime suspect had been in the Army and military people are taught to stab upward, with their knife in a forward grip.

Assassin's Creed:
In Assassin's Creed Altair holds the short blade like this. Appropriately, the short blades are slightly better than long swords when surrounded by multiple enemies, drastically reducing the times needed to parry blows, dodge, and counterattack (the downside being less base damage).
His descendant Ezio Auditore follows in his footsteps with his own short blades. He actually draws and replaces them from his belt in a standard grip, then flips it over in the transition to his fighting stance.

Super Smash Bros.:
Pit and Dark Pit can split their bows into two swords. They hold one normally, while the other is held like this in order to speed up the reattaching process.
From Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U onward Roy was changed to hold his sword in reverse grip for many of his attacks, in an attempt to declone him (and eventually declone his Echo Fighter Chrom indirectly in Ultimate) and make his Sword of Seals look heavier than Marth and Lucina's Falchions.
Joker wields his knife this way when in idle and for most of his close-quarter slicing attacks. Its also lets him indulge in showy Weapon Twirling when he switches grips for particular attacks.
Sephiroth holds his katana Masamune this way when he's not using it, mainly because it's so long that it would stick out awkwardly if he held it any other way.
