The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a cutting tool for a vegetation cutting machine, such as a brush cutter or an edge trimmer, comprising the following steps: (a) producing by an injection molding process at a first temperature a preform (200) made of a polyamide mixture comprising at least one homopolymer and at least one copolymer; (b) stamping the preform at a second temperature lower than the first temperature so as to cause polymer chains of the polyamide mixture to extend according to at least two different directions, thereby forming a planar piece (201), (c) cutting the planar piece (201) to define at least one cutting edge of the cutting tool (2).

A method of manufacturing a cutting tool is disclosed. The cutting tool may be additively printed. This may allow the formation of a complex design with varying surfaces of the cutting tool in differing configurations and orientations. Then, a rake face and a flank face of the cutting tool may be grinded to form a cutting surface.
