Provided are an outer blade for a reciprocation-type electric shaver and a method of producing the outer blade, the outer blade being capable of suppressing a deformation such as wrinkles or an undulation, without adding a new component, to thereby keep a good appearance thereof. A sheet material (2) for forming the outer blade is bent into a shape projecting upward when viewed in the lateral directions. The sheet material (2) has hair introduction holes (2a), the peripheral edge of each hair introduction hole (2a) forming a projection section (2b) projecting inward beyond the other portion of the sheet material (2), the end surfaces of a part of the projection sections (2b) make contact with a reciprocating inner blade. The sheet material (2) is formed with a deformation suppression section (2c) in a specific region not including the projection sections which make contact with the inner blade but including the projection sections which make no contact with the inner blade. The deformation suppression section (2c) extends in a direction, the projection sections (2b) included in the deformation suppression section (2c) being crushed by pressing from the inside of the sheet material.
