Breadtopia - Bread Lame

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.

The handle is substantial enough to grip confidently, even with oven gloves on — a detail that sounds minor until you've fumbled a scoring cut on a loaf you've spent two days on. The stainless steel blade mount holds a double-edged razor that can be rotated to extend its life and replaced inexpensively when needed. Five blades are included.

Made in the USA from hard plastic resin with a stainless steel blade strip. Replacement blades imported from Eastern Europe.
