As an aside, I seem to remember that a combat expert on "Two Men In A Trench" showed the two men how a combatant would have used the targe, dirk and sword: targe on left arm and gripping dirk in the downward position with the left hand while using the right for the sword. This would kinda mean that whatever handle of the targe the left hand was engaging, it would still have to be able to get a grip on the handle of the dirk. Just something to think about in the process of design.
