Wooden Bread Lame Sourdough Scoring Tool, 5 Razor Blades

About This Item

• BAKE THE LOAF YOU PICTURED: A clean score decides where your dough opens, so it rises up instead of splitting out the side. Hold this bread scoring tool at a shallow angle, roughly 30 degrees to the surface, and pull one confident stroke about a quarter inch deep. Same motion on your first loaf or your five hundredth, and as a scoring tool for sourdough bread it does one job properly where a kitchen knife cannot.
• STEADY CONTROL, KNUCKLES CLEAR OF THE DOUGH: The full length wood handle gives you something real to hold, so your hand stays off the loaf and the line lands where you aimed it. The pear shaped grip and stainless steel shaft hold the blade firm through the whole stroke, which is the difference between a hesitant scratch and a defined cut. Our lame bread tool earns its keep among your bread making tools by giving you that control on every bake.
• 5 REPLACEABLE BLADES, CHANGED WITHOUT DRAMA: Fresh bread lame blades sit flat on the stainless holder and stay put, and you handle them by the dull spine rather than the edge. If a sourdough blade starts dragging or tearing the dough, that is a tired blade rather than a tired tool, so swap it every dozen loaves or so and your cuts stay crisp. Five bread lame replacement blades ship in the box, so you are not hunting refills after the first bake.
• THE CURVE IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE: A curved blade undercuts the dough instead of slicing straight down, and that shallow flap is what peels back into an ear as the loaf bakes. Use the leading corner at a low angle for that classic ear, or a steeper, more upright pass when you want straight decorative lines and wheat stalk patterns. That range is what separates a purpose built bread scorer from a paring knife, and why a sourdough scorer earns drawer space.
• STAINLESS STEEL AND WOOD, DISHWASHER SAFE: Dishwasher safe when you are in a hurry, though a quick rinse and dry by hand keeps the blade sharp and spot free and the wood handle in good shape. The included leather cover protects the edge in a busy drawer. Works on sourdough boules, batards, baguettes, ciabatta, focaccia and rye, sits neatly with the rest of your bread baking supplies, and makes one of the more useful gifts for sourdough bakers.
