Provided is a cutting tool with which an operator can cut a to-be-cut material by grasping a second handle while setting a first handle stably, and in which the first handle can be changed from a stably-set mode to a grippable mode as with the second handle. The cutting tool has a sidewardly-protruding extension component (29) disposed at the base end of the first handle (5), which is installed so that, with respect to a handle main body (11) of the first handle (5), it can be freely changed between a transverse position (X) substantially aligned with the axial direction of the pivotal shaft (17) and a longitudinal position (Y) aligned with the lengthwise direction of the handle main body, and, a position holding mechanism (45) is disposed between the extension component (29) and the handle main body (11), for holding the extension component (29) in each position (X,Y). |
