That makes less sense. That means you have to be able to wiggle the blade around. Scabbards are meant to make the blade stationary while sheathed so as to minimize damage to the blade during transport. It goes against the aesthetic of a sword piece made for art since the most appreciated part of it is its edge and luster which will degrade faster if you can move it around in the scabbard. This also decreases its efficiency as a weapon. The only thing I can think of is that the scabbard follows a certain line, so it's not that you won't be able to unsheathe it, it just makes drawing the blade more troublesome.
Only my opinion though, don't let it stop you.
