Handle for hand held utensils and implements

A hand held implement having a tool or head portion (1) and a handle (3) that is positioned or attached to the tool or head portion (1) at an offset or tilted angle, the handle (3) including or being associated with a grip which encourages a user of the implement to present the tool or head portion to an implement at a preferred angle or orientation;

• characterised in that the grip further encourages the user to change his or her hold on the handle when appropriate for reasons of improving the effectiveness or comfort in use of the utensil as a consequence of the angle at which the implement is presented to the implement, wherein the grip comprises a moulded thumb rest (9) that spirals from a first position substantially central to the longitudinal axis of the handle to a second position substantially outside the longitudinal axis of the handle, the spiral being formed in a direction generally toward that side of the handle nearest the users palm when the handle is held in a normal manner.
