Provided is a shearing method which can produce a worked material having a sheared edge excellent in surface perpendicularity and surface properties with a good productivity while suppressing tool wear and damage. The method comprises a first shearing step of placing a first blank having first and second surfaces on a first die so that said second surface is arranged on said first die side, and shearing said first blank from said first surface toward said second surface in a sheet thickness direction of said first blank by a first punch arranged at said first surface side to obtain a first punched out material and first worked material; and a second shearing step of placing a second blank and (x) using said first punched out material as a second punch, (y) using said first worked material as a second die, or both thereof.
