metal shields

Basic has iron shields. Double weight and cost and HP, +3 DR.

Dungeon Fantasy calls them dwarven shields, and also adds +1 to their shield bash damage. Cumulative with +1 for a spike if you have one.

Martial Arts says that you can sharpen the edge of a metal shield and use it for swing-2 cutting damage.

So if you're using both DF and MA, and you sharpen the edge of a dwarven shield, does that swing-2 cutting damage get +1 for bashing with a dwarven shield? Or does only the traditional crushing kind of shield bash get +1 from a dwarven shield?

Also, if a metal shield has both a sharp edge and a spike, and you hit with the edge for cutting damage, do you get +1 for the spike? (I think the answer to this one is obvious, but I figured I'd ask it just for completeness.)

Thanks.
