Knights did not carry their swords strapped to their forearms, the last I checked. And shield were pretty universally slung on the back by the guige (neck-strap) when not in use, aside from the tiny-ass bucklers you could simply hang from your belt (also popular for self-defense and brawling around the town, whence the term "swashbuckler").

Which said the Tenno would probably wear their pants on their back if that was physically possible, so strong is their fetish for it.
