The cutting insert includes a sintered body having a cutting edge, and a base body having a leading end where the sintered body is joined via a braze material. The sintered body includes a front surface on a leading side, an upper surface connected to the front surface and forming the cutting edge with the front surface along a connecting edge with the front surface, a bottom surface opposite the upper surface, a back surface opposite the front surface, and two side surfaces. The sintered body and base body are joined together in a joint surface including the bottom surface and back surface of the sintered body. The joint surface in side view has a step-like shape with a leading side thereof being lower than a trailing side thereof.
