- Pistol Grip - Usually found on knives, and in use from about 1730, the pistol grip handle tapers out from the blade toward the end of the implement, and then curls in the shape of the truncated handle of an early pistol.
The grip is seen occasionally on forks, and also used to describe the handles on an urn where the handle rises up from the body of the urn towards the top, but turns down before meeting the neck, leaving a gap between the neck and the handle
