ABSTRACT:
A stamped knitting tool, receivable for reciprocating motion in a guide groove of a knitting tool carrier forming a component of a knitting machine, includes a shank having a shank length, first and second opposite broad sides having outer faces, a full shank thickness defined by a distance between the outer face of said the first broad side and the outer face of the second broad side, and a guide region extending along a portion of the shank length. The guide region remains at all times within the guide groove when the knitting tool reciprocates in the guide groove. The knitting tool further has at least one butt carried by the shank; and at least one free surface which is provided in at least the first broad side. The free surface is recessed relative to the outer face of the first broad side, whereby a distance between the recessed free surface and the outer face of the second broad side defines a reduced shank thickness which is less than the full shank thickness. The recessed free surface extends in a direction of the shank length from the butt at least approximately to an end of the guide region.
