Ilex said:Well I think that it was that rare to have a smaller weapon in other hand. Like a dagger wielded in the same hand as shield (not a heavy one). There are also shields that have 2 blades attached to it (can't remember the name of the weapon/shield, if someone remembers it please post, so i can google a picture).
The shield azaps use has a sharpened area its for that use, to start opponents with it. It's not a main weapon, but a nice challenge and distraction for enemy. I think it was called Turkish sheild
