Abstract: A kitchen utensil comprises a handle part (12), a shank part (14) adjacent to the handle part (12) and an active part (16) adjacent to the shank part (14), a transition part (18) being arranged on the shank part (14) at a distance from the handle part (12), and at least one component (28, 30) of the shank part (14) entering into an accommodating space (52, 54) inside the transition part (18). The entrance opening (53, 55) of the accommodating space (52, 54) for the component (28, 30) of the shank part is substantially of like cross-section with that component (22, 26, 28, 30) in the region of the entrance (53, 55).
