On the main topic, I would say applying the cutting DR against lots of loosely similar hazards in which the gear would logically protect seems a good idea.

Take two boards of equal weight, one cylidrical and the other ensiform but not sharp. Which one would you prefer to get hit by?

I would treat the ensiform board as having flanges from the Low Tech Companion (+1 damage).
