A cemented carbide includes 65 to 85 volume % of a first phase and 4 to 25 volume % of a second phase, wherein the first phase consists of carbide grains, the second phase includes 50 mass % or more of cobalt, the second phase includes zirconium, a cobalt content ratio MCo of the cemented carbide is 3 to 15 mass %, a and b of the cemented carbide indicate a relation of the following formula I: b<0.0485a+0.0001 I, where a represents a percentage, (MZr/MCo)×100, of a zirconium content ratio MZr in mass % with respect to the cobalt content ratio MCo in mass %, a is more than 0 and 8 or less, b represents an area percentage of pore in a first region of the cemented carbide, and the first region is a region located within a distance of 50 μm from a surface of the cemented carbide in the cross section.
A cemented carbide comprising a first phase and a second phase, wherein
