Cross grasp
I offer this option as
(a) less technical and more self-explanatory than Digital Pronate grip
(b) I think "tverrgrap med strak pekefinger" is actually the 'Digital pronate grip'
If you put 'cross thumb grasp' in your English language search engine, a number of useful articles and images come up.

: From the reference (also see images under Pencil grip), it looks to me as if the Pincer grip is more advanced than the 'tverrgrep' (Cross grasp).
