A compound needle for a knitting machine has a machine shank of substantially rectangular cross section, in which a substantially U-shaped longitudinal groove open at the top is formed. A closing slider adapted to fit the cross section of the groove is guided in the groove in a longitudinally slidable manner, and the groove has at least one slit leading to the outside, which extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the groove. In order to attain satisfactory removal of fluff or lint from the longitudinal groove, on the one hand, and to assure sufficient stability and resistance to transverse bending of the needle on the other, the longitudinal groove is closed on its top, at least partially, in the vicinity of the recess by means of a rib which also forms a guide for the slider.

A stamped knitting tool for knitting or weaving machines is provided having a shank which is provided with at least one foot and at least two guide portions which extend down to the lower region of the shank. These guide portions are connected above the lower region of the shank by means of a rib thereabove having a width of at least 1.1 mm and at least one of the guide portions supports the foot. The tool is further characterized in that a lower rib of about equal width is provided along the lower region of the shank.
