I'm going to assume that this is meant to be read as heavy sarcasm.
However to take the question seriously, yes I do, although the 1907 pattern Bayonet is not one of them, being as it is only about 18-24 inches long.

This is because one of us has an incorrect definition of the word sword.
Rifle Bayonets are traditionally referred to as 'swords' and due to length this would be classed as a 'sword bayonet' anyway, but I tend to classify it as a bayonet rather than a sword as it was intended to be attached to the end of a rifle, rather than as a separate weapon in it's self.
/nitpicking.
