Title: Ski pole handle or the like

Abstract: A handle or handgrip for a pole, especially a ski pole, comprising a guide surface for the thumb, the metacarpus (usually referred to as the palm of the hand) and the fingers. The guide surface embodies an upright wall extending approximately in the lengthwise direction of the handle and essentially in an axial plane or a plane substantially in parallelism therewith. The upright wall prevents grasping of the handle by means of the thumb and retains the thumb together with the palm of the hand and the base of each of the fingers to one side of the handle.
