A bread lame is a baker's scoring tool — a handled blade used to slash decorative and functional cuts into dough before baking, helping loaves rise and open evenly.

Scoring shouldn't be the scary part of baking. This beechwood lame holds the blade at a secured angle so you can make confident deep cuts and fine, precise scores without second-guessing.

What is a bread lame used for?
Scoring — the slashes you cut into dough just before baking. They control how the loaf expands in the oven and let you add decorative patterns. This one handles both deep "ear" cuts and fine detail work.

How does the blade adjust?
An embedded screw sets the blade tension and angle, so it stays put while you score. The razor retracts fully into the handle for safe storage, and swaps out easily when it dulls (5 blades included).

Is it good for beginners?
Yes — the fixed angle and comfortable wood handle make clean, consistent scores much easier than a loose razor.
