Abstract
A writing implement has a grip for providing improved comfort and stability to the user. The writing implement includes a barrel having a front end and a writing member partially disposed in the barrel, the writing member having a tip extending outside the front end of the barrel. A resilient gripping portion is attached to the barrel and defines an outer surface. A column of grooves are formed in the gripping portion outer surface. The grooves are aligned longitudinally to form interposed ribs shaped to resist slippage away from the tip.
