Err I voted no on this one too.. I'm not anti sword but I'd rather have something like Horndog's rubber handled jungle parang or a humble Martindale Golok machete over the Yard sword. Reason being in my experience of using them as tools (not weapons) I've accidentally hit rocks when chopping (ouch) or caused nasty edge damage on underground obstacles while using them as impromptu shovel

But a distal tapered Wharncliffe S14 could be a winner..
