See how the grip arm forms a natural wedge when it closes entirely. Your arm would be something like a flat surface. Its a tiny tweek but gives you a dual use weapon.

I wasn't discouraging a pan scoop design, I personally like it, just saying you may struggle to release someone down the pit if its too long. There are a few solutions the simplest is just being fast and going from full speed to zero right next to it.
