Know before you buy
A curved blade allows you to score the dough at an angle, which helps create a more pronounced 'ear' or crust lift during baking. The shape is specifically designed to glide through the dough without dragging or tearing the surface.
No, this model features a fixed blade design. It is built for stability and precision, so the blade is permanently attached to the handle.
The tool comes with a removable blade cover. Always slide the cover back on immediately after use to protect the sharp edge and prevent accidental cuts while it is in your drawer.
Yes, the fixed, ergonomic design provides excellent control, making it a great choice for those learning to score bread. Its sharpness ensures you don't need to apply excessive pressure, which helps maintain the integrity of your proofed dough.
Hand wash the blade with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly immediately after cleaning. Avoid putting it in the dishwasher, as the heat and harsh detergents can dull the edge over time.
