A sawtooth wire for a cylinder lining of a fibre-processing machine, in particular a carding machine, comprising: a tooth base extending in the longitudinal direction of the sawtooth wire and a plurality of teeth arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of said sawtooth wire, each of said teeth having a tooth breast inclined forward at a breast angle and a tooth back inclined at a first back angle relative to the longitudinal direction of said sawtooth wire, and configured such that imaginary extensions of the tooth breast and the tooth back intersect and form a tooth tip, characterized in that the tooth back defines a second back angle and that the first back angle of the tooth back increases from the tooth base to the tooth tip in such a way that the first back angle in the area of the tooth base is smaller than said second back angle in the area of the tooth tip, the tooth back defining a bend positioned approximately {fraction (2/3 )} of the tooth height, and the breast angle of the tooth being less than 45°.
