About this item

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 have not carried a bread lame prior to this one because we were unable to find one that we liked. To work well, the blade needs to be extremely sharp, so a replaceable blade was a necessary feature of an acceptable lame. So we made our own.
