An ergonomic handle for kitchen articles includes a hollow elongate body having a longitudinal axis, the body having a first end for providing attachment and connection of the kitchen articles into a hollow interior of the body, and which includes a second or free end. The elongate body of the kitchen handle includes a top face including a substantially oval recess proportioned for receipt of an engaging surface to the human thumb, the recess proximal to the first end of the body, the oval recess having a major axis co-linear with the longitudinal axis. The top face further includes an ellipsoidal aperture proximal to the second end of the body, the aperture having a major axis co-linear with the longitudinal axis of the body. The elongate body of the kitchen article handle further includes a rounded bottom face including a recess ar the first end, having a major axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the body, and proportioned for receipt of an engaging surface of a human finger when such finger is positioned transversely to the thumb. The bottom face also includes an ellipsoidal recess proximal to the free end, of the body, the recess having a major axis co-linear to the axis of the body, the ellipsoidal recess having major and minor axes of smaller dimensions than corresponding axes of the recess of the first end of the bottom face, the ellipsoidal recess in integral communication with the ellipsoidal aperture of the top face of the body.
