Know before you buy
This bread lame uses standard double-edge razor blades. You can easily source replacements at most hardware stores or online once you have used the five included blades.
The stainless steel holder features a simple tension-based system. You gently loosen the fastener to slide the old blade out and secure a new one in place, ensuring the blade is seated firmly before use.
Yes, the handle is finished to be moisture-resistant. However, to maintain the wood's integrity and prevent cracking, we recommend hand-washing the handle and drying it immediately rather than soaking it.
A bread lame provides a much thinner, sharper edge that glides through sticky dough without dragging or tearing. The ergonomic handle also allows for the precise angle needed to create the 'ear' on sourdough loaves.
The protective leather cover is designed to shield the blade edge from dulling and to protect your fingers when reaching into a drawer. It fits snugly over the head of the lame for secure storage.
