Handle clumsily (3)
I believe the answer is:
paw
'handle clumsily' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for paw that I've seen before include "Animal's foot" , "Hand; foot" , "Mammal's foot" , "Animal foot or hill-billy dad" , "Eg, a dog's foot" .)
