Bread Lame

Description

Now featuring a new design that holds the blade more securely.

A Lame (pronounced LAHM, meaning blade in French) is typically a long thin stick made to hold a metal razor used to cut, or score, bread dough to help control the expansion of the loaf as it bakes.

We had not carried a bread lame prior to this one because at the time, we were unable to find one that we liked. They were either over-priced or disposable. To work well, the blade needs to be extremely sharp, so a replaceable blade was a necessary feature of an acceptable lame. We also wanted to carry a lame that was reasonably priced. So we made our own (since then, some new premium lames have been released that we feel are good, if still a bit pricey).
