The latest news is that the swords are copies, like I guessed. The swords were sent to England and later brought to Denmark, most likely by the owner an Englishman living in Denmark. He and a woman died from taking the heroin, and later his wife told the police about the swords. There seem to have been 30 swords but the police only found 25, so now they are looking for 5 swords – which should represent about 160 grams of almost pure heroin.

My guess is that the blades must have been made like the blade of double katars, where one blade is concealed in the blade of the other. The blade is made hollow in two pieces and later put together.
