A handling instrument (10-2), in particular a writing instrument, having a main axis (1) which is determined substantially by the elongate extent of the instrument, and has at least an active end (12) and at least a passive end (14). At least one hand-actuable lifting-up aid (20-2) for lifting up the active end (12) is provided at the passive end (14). Particularly preferably integrated into the lifting-up aid is a rolling stop (64-1, 64-2) for the handling instrument (10-2), which prevents the handling instrument (10-2) from rolling away about the main axis (1).
