[RPG] keep the sabre I made into the Pact Weapon without needing to summon it

I have a question regarding my Roguelock that I am currently playing, he is about to hit character level 6 and will get his Pact Boon.

He is going to pick Pact of the Blade. According to the description on PHB p. 107-108:

You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

If, for example, that he makes his standard weapon – a Sabre – his pact weapon, as it is on his person most of the time, he would not need to summon it, correct? And it would still gain the magical property?

Best Answer

Yes you could do this.

There is no need to put it into the extra dimensional plane. You can keep it on your person if you want and never have to summon it. Unless one of the things that would put your sabre into the magical dimension happens.

Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.
