[@MelonHead] Gotta correct you, you can wear a buckler and still have a free hand. You just have to strap it around your forearm instead of hand.

Edit: I don't know why the hand is a Furry hand.

'A buckler (French bouclier 'shield', from Old French bocle, boucle 'boss') is a small shield, 15 to 45 cm (6 in to 18 in) in diameter, [b]gripped in the fist.[/b]' Strapping it to the forearm would significantly reduce its worth as a parrying tool, and as far as I can see in regards to a duelling tool it was never used in that fashion.
