Abstract: 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 disposed at the base end of the first handle, which is installed so that, with respect to a handle main body of the first handle, it can be freely changed between a transverse position substantially aligned with the axial direction of the pivotal shaft and a longitudinal position aligned with the lengthwise direction of the handle main body, and, a position holding mechanism is disposed between the extension component and the handle main body, for holding the extension component in each position.
