Abstract: A handheld implement used in precision work requiring a user to grip the implement handle close to the tool head or tip, used in various manual activities. The implement includes a generally cylindrical handle that has a flat surface on one side formed by cutting away a segment of the cylinder down part of its length by a plane that intersects at an angle of a few degrees off the parallel of the handle’s axis, such that the handle tapers into a tail section. The resulting flat area can resemble a partially truncated or full ellipse. The generally rounded leading end can engage the thumb and fingertips of the user, while the tail’s flat area can rest generally along the side of the index finger. The handle’s tail section can have enough weight to keep the flat area flush against a table surface, elevating the tool head and preventing rolling.
