Definition
亲手 means 'with one's own hands', emphasizing a direct, manual action (e.g., making, writing, giving). It contrasts with 亲自, which is the broader 'in person' (e.g., attending, deciding, going yourself). 亲眼 is specifically for seeing with one's own eyes; 一手 means doing something entirely alone, not necessarily by hand.
