Or, at least, something that is not as manageable as Crescent Rose or any of the other weapons.

Weiss and Jaune can simply put their weapons away on their hip.

Blake, Pyrrha, Nora, etc. put their weapons on their backs. Blake even has a magnetic thing strapped to her back to hold Gambol Shroud there.

Ruby folds Crescent Rose and puts it on a hook on the back of her belt. Sun folds Ruyi-Jingu Bang up and, for some reason, puts it under his shirt. Actually, that kinda makes me wonder if there's a reason he hides his weapon... But that's for another topic.

So, Velvet's weapon is a lot harder to simply put away or fold up than everyone else's weapons. It's hard for me to imagine that it's something that she has to assemble because that would be highly impractical for a huntress. It's practical for planned events, but finding or being attacked by grimm is not something that you can always plan for.
