Default African swords as tools?

Someone asked me recently if most African swords were used primarily as weapons against people and animals, or for ceremonial purposes, --- or were they also used as tools like the Nepalese khukuri or machettes of other areas, were used as both?

It seems to me that the majority of African swords (excepting sickles) I have were not meant to be used as tools.

Opinions?
