The second layer has a sandwich structure of an inner layer, an intermediate layer and an outer layer, wherein the inner layer is exposed through an opening in the outer layer, the opening extending over at least a portion of the width of the cutting edge. Thereby, a double layer is provided in critical areas, whereas a single layer is provided in other areas. The double oxide layer is an aluminum oxide layer. A method for manufacturing the coated cutting tool is also provided.
