“Woodard” was originally derived from the Old English words "wode", meaning wood, and ward, meaning "Guardian". A name given to a forester, a guard, or a protector. An historical usage of the name goes back to the Battle of Hastings, where one Commander "Woodard", was granted lands by King William for his assistance during the battle. The name of "protector" inspired Jason to create this imposing design.

Parrying daggers, also known in French, as the "Main-Guache", was designed to parry an offensive thrust while wielding a primary weapon in the other hand, typically a Rapier or other single handed bladed weapon. In contrast to their predecessor, being the medieval dagger, the parrying dagger incorporating a wider guard and often a protective guard.

The use of an off-hand weapon gradually fell out of favor as sword fighting migrated to the use of progressively lighter "small swords". Under these circumstances the use of just a primary weapon offered improvements in balance as well as a stance that offered a smaller target.
