I wouldn't go so far as to say "on their person at all times", but the kidnapping of Aliera and Morrolan in _Issola_ seems to indicate that wielder and sword aren't seperable, as presumably the J would have done so if it were possible (well, ok, maybe the J wouldn't bother or don't think in terms of "separation" but I dislike this line of thought.)
