Abstract
The invention relates to a cutting tool (1) comprising: a first handle (2) and a first blade (3) fixedly attached to each other, a second handle (4) and a second blade (5) pivotably attached to each other by a first pivot (6) and a second pivot (7). In order to obtain a cutting tool with an optimal cutting force, the cutting tool comprises a limiter (11) allowing the back end (9′) to move sideways (S) in relation to the second handle (4) and preventing the back end (9) at least from moving away from the second handle (4) in an axial direction (A) of the first pivot (6).
