No. In the original you present yourself to Tong and keep the sword after that, and you don't even have to take it from the apartment after opening the glass container.

In GOTY you have to drop the sword before talking to Tong so you can keep it, otherwise he will get it. I don't know what happens if you talk to him without taking the sword...you could try.
