The invention claimed is: 1. A cubic boron nitride sintered material comprising: more than or equal to 20 volume % and less than or equal to 80 volume % of cubic boron nitride grains; and more than or equal to 20 volume % and less than or equal to 80 volume % of a binder phase, wherein the binder phase includes first binder grains and second binder grains, each of the first binder grains and the second binder grains includes one compound composed of titanium, at least one first metal element selected from a group consisting of zirconium, hafnium, a group 5 element, a group 6 element in a periodic table, and aluminum, and one or both of nitrogen and carbon, in each of the first binder grains, a ratio of the number of atoms of the first metal element to a total of the number of atoms of the titanium and the number of atoms of the first metal element is more than or equal to 0.01% and less than 10%, in each of the second binder grains, a ratio of the number of atoms of the first metal element to a total of the number of atoms of the titanium and the number of atoms of the first metal element is more than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 80%, and an average grain size of the second binder grains is more than or equal to 0.2 μm and less than or equal to 1 μm, wherein a ratio of a mass of the first binder grains to a total mass of the first binder grains and the second binder grains is more than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 95%. 2. The cubic boron nitride sintered material according to claim 1 , wherein the average grain size of the second binder grains is more than or equal to 0.25 μm and less than or equal to 0.7 μm. 3. The cubic boron nitride sintered material according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of a mass of the first binder grains to a total mass of the first binder grains and the second binder grains is more than or equal to 50% and less than or equal to 80%. 4. The cubic boron nitride sintered material according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal element consists of at least one metal element selected from a group consisting of zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum, and tungsten. 5. The cubic boron nitride sintered material according to claim 1 , wherein the first metal element consists of one or both of zirconium and niobium. 6. The cubic boron nitride sintered material according to claim 1 , wherein a content ratio of the cubic boron nitride grains is more than or equal to 35 volume % and less than or equal to 75 volume %.
