A cutting tool includes a substrate composed of a cermet. The cermet includes a hard phase including compounds containing Ti, at least one metal other than Ti selected from groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table, and at least one element of carbon and nitrogen, a binder phase including, as a main component, an iron group metal, and unavoidable impurities. At least one type of particles selected from alumina particles and zirconia particles with an average particle size of 0.5 µm or more and 5 µm or less is scattered over a surface of a rake face of the substrate, and the concentration of at least one element of aluminum and zirconium in the surface is 0.5 at% or more and 5 at% or less. |
