1. A binding machine comprising:
a wire feeding unit configured to feed a plurality of wires to be wound on an object to be bound;
a cutting unit configured to cut the plurality of wires wound on the object to be bound; and
a binding unit configured to twist the plurality of wires wound on the object to be bound,
wherein the cutting unit comprises a pair of blade parts configured to interpose the plurality of wires therebetween and cut the plurality of wires,
the pair of blade parts include an opening through which the plurality of wires can pass while being aligned in parallel, the plurality of wires are cut by relative movement of end edge parts of the pair of blade parts in sliding contact with each other, and a cutting direction which is a direction of the relative movement is orthogonal to a direction in which the plurality of wires are aligned in parallel,
one or both of the pair of blade parts comprise a delay part which is configured to delay cutting a part of the plurality of wires as compared to a remaining part of the plurality of wires, and
the delay part is a concave part which is provided to the end edge part of one or both of the pair of blade parts and which is recessed in the cutting direction to delay cutting the part of the plurality of wires.
