A breaker projection is provided on the rake face near the corner portion so as to bulge gradually along a bisector of the corner portion with distance from the corner portion. The breaker projection includes a front apex portion substantially in the shape of a convex circular arc in a section along the bisector and a side portion which includes a recess substantially in the shape of a concave circular arc in a section perpendicular to the bisector.
