Abstract: A handle for a garden tool, a kitchen utensil, a hardware tool, an implement, device, preferably cookware and/or a pot or pan comprises a soft, resilient material formed into three horizontally-extending (to the longitudinal axis of the handle) finger troughs. A slight recess for a fourth finger, and a thumb rest, located on the bottom and top, respectively, extend along the longitudinal axis of the handle. The thumb rest is at least partially superimposed over the fourth (or pointer) finger recess and is at least partially forward or distal to the end of the handle as the troughs and the fourth or pointer finger recess of the handle. The soft material (polypropylene and/or thermoplastic rubber) for the handle along with the finger troughs and the thumb rest allow the handle to be comfortable in use, very easy to control the item to which the handle is attached, and still allows for heat insulation between the item to which the handle is attached and the user's hand.
