For those that really want to lose a toe, these(along with old chainsaw chain welded to a hub) used to be really popular for smashing up brambles etc.
The EU banned their sale back in 2012 after a few fatalities but easily acquired online.
They definitely do the job but really nothing short of medieval armour would be safe ;)
