A method for manufacturing a drill bit (1), wherein in a first step the chip flutes (12) are ground into a round rod, in a second step the round rod is ground down to its outer diameter (15, 16) with simultaneous grinding of the drill-bit back (13), and wherein in a third step the drill-bit front (4) is ground, and a drill bit (1) having at least one chip flute (12) and one secondary cutting edge and one drill-bit back (13) adjoining the secondary cutting edge, the drill-bit back (13) sloping downwards as the distance from the secondary cutting edge increases, in order to create a clearance that becomes continuously larger as the distance from the point of intersection (19) of the secondary cutting edge with the drill-bit back (13) increases.
