An improved ergonomic handle for a knife or other hand held implement i s disclosed. The ergonomic handle has a laterally projecting thumb support to accommodate a user's thumb while the user grasps the handle. The thumb support maintains the user's thumb in a natural and ergonomic position, laterally offset from the centerline of the handle as the user's hand grasps the handl e. The thumb support provides for an efficient, comfortable grip and more contr ol over the knife or other implement during use. It further provides a thumb- force transmitting pressure platform which enables a user to comfortably apply greater pressure to the knife blade or implement than would otherwise be possible without the thumb support. |
