I do recall being able to set off mines with your sword as well. However, as the mines are usually area effect, and being the one striking them usually means you are the closest to them, I still don't see the advantage of that. Especially as seeing how you are leaving yourself vulnerable to attack while this is going on.

If an enemy is closer, then he or she will set them off and there would be not need to set them off manually.

Just my opinion though; I could be wrong.
