Both of them hold their swords with the trigger forwards. In toy form, most Kamen Rider weapons have a "good side" with all the painted details, light-up elements, places to activate other features, and everything else that you'd want to show off about it, while the "bad side" has the speaker, battery compartment, screw holes, all the parts that are needed to make it work as a toy but don't look so good.

And most Kamen Riders hold their weapon with the good side facing inwards towards their body, probably because it's easier to get shots of the weapon's good side that way and makes it easy for them to activate its features with their other hand. Also it means that when you're holding the toy, the good side is facing towards you.

But if you watch the way Saber, Blades and Espada draw their swords, you'll notice that the front of the sword while it's sheathed ends up on the outside when it's drawn, facing away from their body. And since obviously the good side is the side you want facing forward in the belt, that means those swords are flipped compared to most other Kamen Rider weapons, with the good side on the outside!
