A sheath for carrying a knife or blade is disclosed. The sheath includes a scabbard attached to a carrying strap forming a loop through which a carrying junction such as a belt may be passed. The axis of the loop is generally aligned with a transverse axis perpendicular to an axis of gravity. The length of the scabbard includes a longitudinal axis generally angled with respect to the axis of gravity. The mouth of the scabbard is further angled with regard to the transverse axis. Each of the foregoing alignments allows a user to more easily and efficiently insert and remove a blade into the scabbard while carrying the sheath. The sheath is also provided with an inner shell disposed inside the scabbard, the inner shell having a plurality of lengthwise linear ridges for gripping the blade inside the shell.

1. A knife sheath, comprising:a hollow body for receiving a knife blade, said body having proximal and distal end portions, a mouth disposed in said proximal end portion, and a first longitudinal axis spanning the proximal and distal end portions, wherein the hollow body further includes: a substantially non-deformable outer shell, a rigid inner shell, the outer shell enclosing the inner shell, wherein the inner shell defines a space for receiving a knife blade, an inner length and an inner surface, the inner surface having a plurality of snaced apart elastically deformable linear ridges spanning the inner length of the inner shell, the linear ridges being substantially narallel to the first longitudinal axis and having a sufficient adhesive property to grip a blade through static friction, a suspension strap having first and second end portions secured to each other and to the proximal end portion of the body, to form a loop, and a second longitudinal axis, the second longitudinal axis intersecting with the first longitudinal axis to form a first smallest angle, the first smallest angle being less than ninety degrees. 2. The knife sheath of claim 1, wherein the first smallest angle is in the range of between one and forty-five degrees.3. The knife sheath of claim 2, wherein the first smallest angle is in the range of between eight and fifteen degrees.4. The knife sheath of claim 3, wherein the hollow body further includes:a front edge and a back edge substantially parallel to said front edge, and an upper edge defining a proximal end of the body, the upper edge circumscribing the mouth of the body, wherein the suspension strap further includes a transverse axis orthogonal to the second longitudinal axis, and the upper edge defines a tangent line thereto, said tangent line forming a second smallest angle with said transverse axis, said second smallest angle being less than ninety degrees. 5. The knife sheath of claim 4, wherein the second smallest angle is in the range of between one and forty-five degrees.6. The knife sheath of claim 5, wherein the second smallest angle is in the range of between ten and twenty degrees.7. The knife sheath of claim 6, further including a securing strap member disposed substantially orthogonal to the suspension strap and through the loop formed by said suspension strap, the securing strap having:first and second end portions and first and second sides, wherein a hook material is affixed to a portion of the first side and first end portion and a fastener material is affixed to a portion of the second side and second end portion. 8. The knife sheath of claim 7, wherein the securing strap is fixedly coupled to the suspension strap.
