A Toktz-ket-xil, roughly translated to "sharp obsidian defender", is an obsidian shield that requires at least 60 Defence to wield. It cannot be made using any skills. Its defensive stats are equal to a granite shield's stats plus 5 strength bonus and 10 summoning defence. It has lower melee defence bonuses (but higher ranged defence + summoning bonus). It has +20 defence compared to a rune defender but lacks the +20 attack the rune defender gives. Both give +5 strength bonus. The obsidian shield is one of only 5 shields in the game with a strength bonus that also offers damage soaking abilities. The others are the spikeshields and the berserker shields from Fist of Guthix.

Trivia
- The banner released along with the quest The Temple at Senntisten on 3 December 2009 displayed a player wielding an obsidian shield, which was confirmed by Mod Emilee when many people thought it was a Dragon kiteshield.
- The price of the obsidian shield has fallen dramatically to near its high alchemy value. This made the Obsidian shield a good item to high alchemise, due to gaining profit out of it at times.
- Many people choose a dragon defender over this shield as it has 1 more strength bonus than the Obsidian shield, along with many offensive bonuses. However, the shield is a good substitute for the defender for players who don't have a defender.
- Some players speculate that this was the equivalent of a dragon kiteshield at its time, having a 60 defence requirement and was red with black spikes before the armour update.
- In the 46th Postbag from the Hedge, TzHaar-Mej-Tak mentions that an obsidian shield is used in a similar way to a defender, rather than a shield. This explains its strength bonus.
