That shield is designed to fend off blunt weapons at close quarters, the built up edge is nothing more than reinforcing for the shields integrity. Defending against a sharp weapon at short range you would furnish yourself with a shield that has a "slick" edge so you could "slip" your opponents weapon and have his momentum work against him.

Fuck knows what this has to do with British pre-history though.
