finger grip

Pinch-style hand clasp

A finger grip is a handle, indentation, or textured surface designed to be grasped by the fingers, providing control and leverage: The pitcher has a finger grip molded into the side.

The term also describes the manner of holding something with the fingers rather than the whole hand: a finger grip on the pen.
