Yeah, I got the drill and pin option also. Maybe the scale could be drilled at the position of where the ghost etching lies so that the ghost is still visible with the handle mounted.

Hello,
I've first heard about this concept of knife as "all in one" tool that can be used for digging back in the day when I found out the Ka-Bar Heavy Duty Warthog which was advertised this way (at least in my country). Today, I found out abou the Tops Tracker Digger which was apparently even designed with such use in mind. What do you think of such designu? Do you have some experience with using such knives as digging tools? Please don't crucify me. I know that knives are not primarily digging tools, but I think that this is quite interesting concept for some heavy duty knife.

Damib,

No knife will ever beat a shovel when it comes to digging. However, if you are stuck and don't have a shovel, a knife will at least break up hardened ground. I've had this happen more than once, and each time I had my Kukri and was happy to have a better tool than my hands for digging!
 
Had to look up 17-4. Very interesting! I assume by scales you mean weight scales?
