I think you mothers suggestion sounds like a possibility we have to take into consideration.

And she's such a sweet and innocent-looking lady, too. It's too bad that she doesn't live near any borders that we'd care about.
Personally, I'd secure the blade inside a body panel, simply to keep it clean.
Smuggling aside, I'd suggest that magnets would be a decent display (or whatever) mount for smaller blades, especially guardless ones. Obviously, it wouldn't work on something with a disk guard, like a katana or a dao, but for a slim-line blade, like this pesh-kabz or a dha, it might be a nice way to display it.
Mostly I'd suggest this as an explanation for cases where there are multiple dipoles across the blade. Others here have made some good suggestions about why a knife would have a single dipole, etc.
