Actually, whatever you had first is classed as the main weapon. If you hold onto the flaming sword, drop and pick up the shield, you should find that the shield is back to being the secondary weapon.

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.
Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

Yes, but even so it sucks as a weapon. Honest. It is a terrible stupid iron club.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

The game considers it a piece of the balor's arm. AFAIK all creature body parts are blunt, and natural claws/blades/spikes/horns are just an attack mode attached later. You can't scratch someone to death with a severed kitten paw, and you can't cut with the balor's "sword".
