1. A disassemblable bone punch comprising a shaft and a handle, wherein
the shaft comprises a first shaft part and a second shaft part, wherein the first shaft part comprises at least one first guiding element, and the second shaft part comprises at least one second guiding element, wherein the first shaft part is connected to the second shaft part such that the first guiding element is in engagement with the second guiding element and the first shaft part is movable relative to the second shaft part parallel to a proximal-to-distal direction relative to the second shaft part, wherein
the shaft is movable into a disassembly position, into a neutral position and into a punching position, wherein
the handle comprises a first handle portion and a second handle portion, wherein the first handle portion is movably connected to the second shaft part, wherein the second handle portion is connected to the second shaft part, wherein by a first movement of the first handle portion the shaft is displaceable from the neutral position into the punching position,
wherein by a second movement of the first handle portion the shaft is displaceable from the neutral position into the disassembly position, wherein
the first shaft part comprises a locking area, and
wherein the locking area is movable from a neutral status to an unlocking status, wherein the locking area is configured such that, when the locking area is in the neutral status, moving of the shaft into the disassembly position is prevented and, by the second movement, the locking area is simultaneously moved into the unlocking status and the shaft is moved into the disassembly position; and
wherein the locking area comprises a deflectable spring area, and wherein the locking area is movable into the unlocking status by deflecting the spring area.
