Attacking people with a shield does not provide the arcing range of the sheath form which he could grab at the base rather than wearing on his arm. If he for some reason lost his sword, he wouldn't have to rely on sheepishly hiding behind his shield and backing away for lack of a weapon. He could just switch the shield to sheath mode and use it like a club.
