Biopsy needle for bone marrow biopsies or the like including a cannula, a cannula housing supporting the cannula, and a stylet including a stylet cap supporting the stylet wherein the stylet engages into the cannula in a predetermined relationship and the stylet cap interlocks to a cannula housing. The biposy needle is constructed to be either disposable to reusable depending upon the cannula housing and stylet cap material. The end of the cannula is uniquely formed in a swaging, bevel and grinding, and buffing process providing a sharp knife edge. The stylet includes a longitudinal member having a ground and buffed beveled end maintaining a knife-sharp edge around the tip, and the other end of the stylet is bent and molded into the stylet cap where the stylet cap includes a spring detent locking groove for interlocking with the button of the cannula housing. An alternative embodiment discloses a cannula including a tubular cannula member with a preformed sharp end and a clip having outwardly extending flanges at an angle to each other soldered onto an upper portion for securing the cannula tube in the molded cannula housing.
