A sintered high-toughness alumina-based composite body comprises a plate- or rod-like, corundum or alumina-based compound structure and another structure having a fine granular corundum structure and containing inevitable impurities. A sintered high-toughness alumina-based composite can be produced by mixing a crystal-growth-promoting additive with a first portion of alumina powder to prepare a mix A, mixing a crystal-growth-inhibiting additive with a second portion of alumina powder to prepare a mix B, granulating at least one of the mix A and the mix B into granules, mixing the mix A and the mix B into a mix C, forming tile mix C into a green body, and then firing the green body, whereby crystals of the corundum or alumina-based compound in the mix A are allowed to grow.
