I don't know the "official" name for the shield. I've heard Bullock, Ball Sack, Keyhole... But 'round here we just call it the SCHWAAAANG Shield. Hope this helps!

On a Panama Trapper that type of shield is called a cojones shield. Just sayin'.
Well, I'm a kind person and all and I hate to make others suffer and so on but once Mr. Bose sets those blades on their handles and sends them over to me, then I'll post pictures for you to have the riddle solved. How about that...![]()
If Tony gets his typin fingers warmed up, maybe he will give us the straight dope on what these knives are going to be.
This knife sports some dynamite dark-green bone that's dyed and jigged by Shigeru Tozaki, a master cutler in his own right and admirer of Tony's knives. You can see Shigeru's work at http://www8.ocn.ne.jp/~s-tozaki/
