Abstract: A food grater having converging faces forming a truncated pyramidal grater body to which is mounted a ball grip at the apex. Molded non-skid foot are on each of the bottom corners such that the grater may be held erect with the palm of one hand as grating is carried out on a food item held in the other hand.

Abstract: An elongated handle for a kitchen utensil is shaped for easy gripping having a slightly bulbous rear section and a forward and intermediate section of a rounded rectangular cross sectional shape, the intermediate section smaller than either the forward or rear sections to create an overall stretched hourglass handle shape. The bulbous rear section is inclined downwardly from the top of the handle to be positioned in the crook of the three encircling fingers gripping the handle, while the thumb rests on the flat surface of the depression formed by the intermediate section and the index finger wraps around the intermediate section to the rear of the enlarged forward section.
