I once read somewhere that the ivory blades with beautifully carved ivory hilts sometimes found in dha were presumabley worn at court so that those closest to the king could not assassinate. Perhaps it is a status symbol to be worn at court but with silver blade so that the king was not in jeopardy of being attacked?
