I don't think that the author mentioned a reason. Probably both to disguise it, and to transport it conveniently.
Percy Jackson's sword is made out of a special bronze that doesn't hurt mortals. The sword's name is Anaklusmos, Riptide. Zoe Nightshade gave it to Hercules to slay Ladon, the dragon that protects a special tree. It was a hairpin that could turn into Riptide. Percy's is a pen that uncaps into Riptide. Even when you lose the sword, it will always return into your pocket, a few moments later.
in the book Percy actually said that the pen looked like an ordinary pen but when u clicked the end it turned into his sword riptide
Anaklusmos, aka RipTide
anaklusmos (translated to riptide) was given to Percy by chiron before he began his quest in book 1
It looks just like any other sword, only its gold in color and can form down into a gold ballpoint pen.

I would say NO. but u could...... maybe
Percy's power is the manipulation over water, given from his father, Poseidon, the god of tht seas. His weapon is a celestial bronze, double bladed sword called Riptide that can turn into a pen
His sword's name is 'Anaklusmos,' which translates to 'Riptide' in English.
In the third book, he admits he has never tried to write with it.
