They can probably detect whatever they want in checked bags. Putting it in another type of container to hide something in CHECKED bags does not sound like it would do anything. Otherwise, wouldn't we have heard about peanut butter jars being banned? Yes, I have friends who have... taken... other things through security in a peanut butter jar. Nonetheless, since you aren't asking for trouble, I advise no.
Honestly, shipping is the only way, unless they allow you to watch your bag be searched. Lost my 710 last summer from East coast to West coast. Have a new one. Never going to let a TSA agent near it EVER.
Answer to this is, it's a crap shoot. I'd be right in line with people saying, "Aww, go ahead and take it in your bags!" if I hadn't lost my knife. There is no standard policy you can be sure of here. Get used to it. Ineffective bureaucracies are always arbitrary. You'll probably be fine with the sebenza. But, if you aren't, you'll be paranoid about traveling security for the rest of your days. And honestly, do you need that extra persecution complex?
Zero
