Abstract: A handle and implement head assembly comprising an implement head having a working edge adjacent a substantially planar portion. The assembly further includes a pair of generally longitudinal gripping portions having parallel axes and a connection member that positions the pair of gripping portions on the same side of and substantially equidistant from a central plane which perpendicularly bisects the planar portion and passes through the center of the working edge. At least one of the gripping portions would be positioned outside the plane of the implement.
