ABSTRACT:
An improved ergonomically efficient implement handle having two joints allowing the handle to be bent to selected angles at each joint and a telescoping feature between the two joints allowing the handle length to be adjusted to the height of the user. The two bendable joints and the telescoping feature cooperate to minimize the user's need to stoop over to use a blade or other implement and make it easier and more ergonomically efficient to work with the blade or other implement. A coupling feature allows multiple implements such as a blade or fork to be easily attached to the handle.
