A tungsten cermet for use in cutting tools, including a carbonitride, having titanium and tungsten, and aluminum oxide. The cermet contains about 10 to about 50% by weight of the carbonitride, about 0.5 to about 10% by weight of aluminum oxide and tungsten as a binder. The tungsten cermet has excellent properties in toughness, impact resistance and oxidation resistance, combined with wear resistance and plastic deformation resistance, and is useful for cutting tools used in heavy cutting, hot working and the like.
