Default are there still any navies/army/cavalry forces that employ sabers/cutlasses?

as part of their naval-shipboard / land based arsenals? i am aware that cutlasses and sabers where used, even if in a very limited extent up to WW2, i was just wondering if any country still actively arms its troops with swords of any kind nowadays or if swords now only occupy the parade grounds..

the only example i can find is of filipino marines/special forces/jungle combat units carrying ginuntings.
