It won't be an issue due to pointiness. Knitting needles are allowed too, and they're even pointier. The only possible issue would be if the overall length is deemed excessive...which is unlikely on a regular commercial flight. Worst case the crew might ask to take it from you and store it in their "closet" on board.
