An eating utensil with a spoon shell fastened to a handle enables handicapped people, who have, e.g., only one usable hand, to reduce in size pieces of food, e.g., meat, by cutting into bite-sized pieces. To achieve this, the spoon shell ( ) and the handle ( ) are of a two-part design. The spoon shell ( ) has a first shell part ( ) with a first handle shaft ( ) and a second shell part ( ) with a second handle shaft ( ). The respective shell parts ( ) and handle shafts ( ), which are rigidly connected to one another, are connected to one another by a scissor hinge ( ) and can be moved against one another in a scissor-like manner. The shell parts ( ) have cutting edges ( ) cooperating in a scissor-like manner.
