The chainsaw and Forcesword special attacks can have shield ignore effects for their damage, it is not consistent at all.
1h Chainsword: Shield ignore on rip for light and heavy, not push attack
2h Eviscerator Chainsword: Light and push attack full ignore. Heavy no ignore.
1h Chainaxe: No Shield ignore.
Force Sword: No shield ignore.
Very frustrating when fighting Bulwarks, catching them off-guard and then having the shield restored to block the special damage

Thank you for your report! Just to clarify, these attacks that do ignore the shield, do you just hit the Bulwark from the front no problem and get a chain attack off successfully?
Or do you mean that you get them with their guard down and they put the shield back up during the animation, which some attacks ignore and some get blocked by?
Any recordings showcasing this would be helpful.
If the saw attack hits and locks onto a non-shield body part then shield ignore allows it to ignore the angle based blocking. Hitting the shield always causes no damage because of damage multipliers.
When the bulwark attacks the guard drops and it is easier to hit a non-shield part, but if the saw doesn’t stagger the block resumes and can stop the damage.
