Abstract
A grip for a hand-held instrument includes a top side, a bottom side including a first portion oriented at an acute angle relative to the top side, a front side continuous with the first portion of the bottom side, a back side including a first portion continuous with a second portion, and a channel extending from the top side to the bottom side. The first portion is oriented at a first obtuse angle relative to the top side. The second portion is oriented at a second obtuse angle relative to the bottom side. The channel defines a relief slot and an instrument axis. The instrument axis extends through the first portion of the bottom side.

A grip for a hand-held instrument, comprising:
- a top side;
- a bottom side including a first portion oriented at an acute angle relative to the top side, and a second portion oriented at an obtuse angle relative to the first portion, wherein the top side is smaller than the bottom side;
- a front side continuous with the first portion of the bottom side;
- a first lateral side and a second lateral side, the first lateral side and the second lateral side continuous with the second portion of the bottom side;
- a back side including a first portion continuous with a second portion, the first portion extending in a direction away from the front side and oriented at a first obtuse angle relative to the top side, the second portion oriented at a second obtuse angle relative to the bottom side;
- and
- a channel extending through the top side and the bottom side, the channel defining a relief slot and an instrument axis, the instrument axis extending through the first portion of the bottom side and extending through the top side,
- wherein the instrument axis is positioned on a plane extending through a center of the grip.
