A method of continuous production of metal wires, whereby the cross section of a bare metal wire is reduced in several stages, wherein the last stage, the bare wire is shaped to form a flat wire by drawing the bare wire through a drawing die, the bore of which is open at the side and which is composed of a bottom part (2) and a top part (3) and the distance from the top part (3) to the bottom part (2) is adjustable and wherein the shaping to form the flat wire is performed without any significant reduction in cross section.
