The invention relates to a cutting tool of a surgical, torque-transmitting instrument comprising a distal engagement segment to which a tool shaft is connected, the proximal end section thereof being designed to be inserted into a tool receiving section of the instrument, in order to transmit torque. The proximal end section is divided into at least one functional section "torque-transmission" and one functional section "axial locking" which is arranged at an axial distance from the other functional section. According to the invention, the functional section "axial locking" is arranged proximally to the functional section "torque-transmission" with respect to the engagement segment.
