I do - I have a really nice Colombian steel 1-1/2 footer that holds a good edge. However, I rarely have to use it except in secondary forest - primary forest is remarkably open under the canopy.

And I have to laugh, really, since those pictures were taken into the jungle from a fresh road cut! I didn't have to hack a single thing - the tractor had done that work for me. Deep jungle photos (and really, deep jungle itself) are remarkable for a lack of that kind of tangling at ground level.
