A stationary blade for a hair cutting appliance and a method of forming the stationary blade includes providing tooth components obtained from metal material, where the tooth components are arranged in a substantially flat fashion and are at least partially tapered towards a tip end. The method further includes arranging the tooth components next to each other to form a series of spaced apart teeth, where neighboring tooth components are arranged at a distance from one another; providing a blade base acting as a support receptacle, arranged to receive the tooth components; and interconnecting the tooth components and the blade base in a direct or mediate fashion, thereby forming teeth of the stationary blade.
