Abstract

A method for manufacturing a handle includes manufacturing a surface portion for the handle, arranging the surface portion having a uniform thickness in a mould to contact a surface of the mould and to cover cavities which are provided in the surface in a predetermined pattern, pressing those parts of the surface portion that cover the cavities into the cavities with a mass that is introduced into the mould, and removing the handle from the mould once the mass has cured to form a rigid body which is at least partly covered by the surface portion from which protrusions arranged in the predetermined pattern protrude.
