To provide a cutting tool combined with abrasion resistance and defect resistance.

This manufacturing method of the cutting tool with a covered layer formed on a surface of a hard alloy parent material, applies a first work to smooth a parent material surface and a second work to provide a recessed part on the parent material surface by physical technique in advance of formation of the covered layer. Favorably, brush polishing work is applied as the first work and shot blast work is applied as the second work. The parent material is formed of a first material A of more than one kind selected from a group made of carbide, nitride and carbide nitride of 4, 5, 6 group metals of a periodic table and indispensably with either one of titanium carbide nitride and tungsten carbide and a second material B with iron family metal as a main component.
