Abrégé

The invention relates to a knife, particularly for cutting food such as meat or fish, comprising a blade that is disposed to be rotatable about an axis of rotation as well as a drive unit which is designed as an electric motor and is provided with a revolving rotor and a stationary stator. The rotor and the stator cooperate in order to drive the blade and impart a rotational movement on the blade during operation of the knife. According to the invention, the rotor (32) can be rotated about the axis of rotation (A), is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the blade (33), and revolves around the axis of rotation (A) along with the blade (33) during operation of the knife (1). The disclosed knife has an improved design such that the blade is easier to drive and the knife is easier to handle.

Abrégé

The invention relates to a knife, particularly for cutting food, comprising a blade that is disposed to be rotatable about an axis of rotation and performs a rotational movement about the axis of rotation during operation of the knife, and a spacer which is arranged on a stationary section of the knife, at a distance from the blade, in order to define a measure for the depth during the cutting process. According to the invention, the spacer (2) is connected to the stationary section (4) of the knife (1) by means of an adjusting device (24) which allows the spacer (2) to be adjusted relative to the blade (3) in the direction of the axis of rotation (A), the spacer (2) being retained on the stationary section (4) of the knife (1) by means of the adjusting device (24). As a result, the spacer of the disclosed knife is better connected and is easier to adjust.
