[Problem] To provide a cermet and cutting tool whereby a cutting edge has high wear resistance and defect resistance even in a configuration where the cutting edge attains a high temperature. [Solution] A cermet 1 including a hard phase 2 comprising a carbonitride of one or more metals of groups 4, 5, and 6 of the periodic table including at least Ti, and a bonding phase 3 containing W and at least one of Co and Ni, the bonding phase 3 containing a first bonding phase 4 in which the ratio of W to the total amount of Co and Ni (W/(Co + Ni)) is 0.8 or less, and a second bonding phase 5 in which the ratio of W to the total amount of Co and Ni (W/(Co + Ni)) is 1.2 or greater.
