A manually drivable food cutter includes a cap with a axle journal, a blade shaft including one or more blades disposed thereon, a vessel connected to the blade shaft, a base connecting the cap and the vessel, a gear shaft set above the base, and a gear part transmitting the rotation of the cap to the blade shaft on the base, the gear part including one or more gears. The advantages of the apparatus are that it can be conveniently operated and the units do not fall apart easily.
