Cirdan - Handed the red ring over to Gandalf
Maedhros - Less handy than some on this list
Thuringwethil - A handy disguise
Yavanna - Certainly a green thumb
Eorl the Young - Quite handy
Gimli - Quite a contrary handfull, if Tom Shippey is to be believed.
Formenos - Certainly it was handy for Morgoth to have the Silmarils underguarded here
Ugluk - Servant of the White Hand: the Hand that gave him man-flesh to eat.
Isildur's Bane - Could slip off a finger unexpectedly, not so handy for that reason. Though fingers are usually attached to the hand...y. It is also a sign that doom is near at hand.
Anduril - Forged by hand, wielded by hand, broken on a hand, re-forged and re-wielded by a hand.
Blades of Westernesse - Their particular virtues made them quite handy in their assigned places.
I'd have a hard time choosing between Maedhros and Ugluk, personally.
