Abstract
The handle is ergonomically shaped. It is given a wasp-like shape, with a flexible cover. The handle is used both as a fixed, permanent handle for a single kitchen implement, and as a handle for receiving and holding interchangeable kitchen implements. In one preferred embodiment, the handle has a fluid silicone gel layer underneath an outer-cover to better conform the shape of the handle to the user'"'"'s hand.
