Abstract
A device having a surface which is adapted to be gripped by a user wherein the surface reduces slippage at the user's hand. The surface geometry of the handle portion substantially reduces slippage that can occur when an instrument is in use. Preferably, the hand held instrument is a knife. The surface of the handle is covered with protuberances having angled planar upper surfaces which create a plurality of edges designed to minimize hand slippage.
