Shoes with Blades
You've seen blades hidden in shoes in Kingsman and James Bond. You can make one of these yourself or buy it. Instructions on how to make this are also on Pinterest. You can also find it in high heel
form.
No joke, you can pay hundreds of dollars for high heel weaponry. Most of these are stillettos. They may or may not need to be special ordered, but they do exist. These can be used for self-defense in many scenarios.
Hidden in Armor
This applies to cosplayers and writers (again, fake weapons for conventions or they don't come with you). Lots of video game and movie characters have knives and spikes hidden in their armor, around mostly their arms. The main examples I can find are from the video game Assassin's Creed. No surprise here, you can make it yourself with a little help from Pinterest.
Sword Canes and Umbrellas
We know Higgins had one in the first season of Magnum PI. They do exist and you can buy them. The canes must sell extremely well because one of the models was sold out on one website I looked at, specifically the one referenced in my source links. This one had been on sale, but its original price was $40. Depending on how fancy your character, or you, are may up or lower that price. Bet on paying at least 40 to 70 dollars.
The umbrella is not surprising, given its similarity to a cane. It may be less expensive or more expensive.
Small Objects and Miscellaneous
Other objects that have held knives include keys, pens, lipstick, belts, shovels, combs, necklaces, carabiners, cufflinks, and bullets. You can buy these things online. You can put a sword or blade in a set of golf clubs, if you wanted to. Writers, you can arm your spies and assassins with quite a lot of blades, almost all of them hidden.
It is also a possibility that the "cover" for your spy allows them many blades or weapons. Artists, for example, have blades for cutting paper and canvas. Doctors have access to blades, especially surgeons. Blades don't have to be hidden for your spy, especially if their alias uses them for their work.
