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 believe our bread lame is an excellent balance of form, function and price. Its designed to be easy to see and pick up. This may sound funny, but one popular model on the market is so small and thin as to be nearly invisible when set down, is difficult to pick up barehanded and almost impossible to use while wearing protective oven gloves. Our lames easy grip handle allows for steady control and accurate cutting. It uses inexpensivereplaceable double edge bladeswhich makes it both economical and ecological.

Since youre only cutting with one corner of the blade at a time and the blade can easily be rotated,you get maximum life out of each blade.

The handle is made of hard plastic resin with a stainless steel strip to hold the razor blade. Included with the lame are 5 razor blades.

Use the box that the lame comes in as a convenient and safe wayto store it.
