We allow child molesters that haven't been caught yet to be around children. Rapists that haven't been caught yet are not listed on a sexual offender list. Alcoholics that haven't been caught yet are allowed to renew their driver's license and to operate a motor vehicle.
Knives have a long history of being used as a tool to kill and before the invention of the gun were the primary killing tool used by armies. Swords are nothing more than a long knife. There is no federal law prohibiting the carrying of a knife but there are states and many municipalities that restrict the type and size of a knife that a person may carry on their person.

In NYC you can only carry a nail file. Oddly the criminals carry whatever they like.
