Because shields aren't normally made with sharp cutting edges like the 
weapons that knock them into our faces.  <G> Unless you've done something 
REALLY wrong in making your shield, in which case you deserve whatever you

A long bow and a strong bow,
And let the sky grow dark.
The nock to the cord, the shaft to the ear,
And a foreign king for a mark!

                 the patron saint of Ansteorra
