Bread Lame Scoring Tool

Elevate your sourdough artistry with our premium beechwood bread lame—the essential tool for creating beautiful, professional-quality scores on your homemade loaves.

Whether you're a seasoned baker perfecting your craft or just beginning your sourdough journey, this compact scoring knife delivers the precision and control you need for stunning decorative cuts every time.

Why Bakers Love This Lame:
This is the exact bread lame I personally use in my own baking, and I'm excited to share it with you! The thoughtful design combines functionality with beauty, making it a joy to use whether you're scoring simple slashes or intricate patterns.

Premium Features:

Adjustable Blade Tension & Angle
The innovative embedded screw design allows you to easily adjust blade tension and secure your preferred scoring angle. This means you can create both deep primary cuts for dramatic ear development and delicate, meticulous scores for decorative patterns—all with one tool.

Safe Retractable Design
Safety meets convenience. The razor blade retracts completely inside the lame for secure storage, protecting both you and your blade when not in use. No more worrying about accidental cuts or dull blades from improper storage.

Beautiful Beechwood Construction
Crafted from repurposed solid beechwood, each lame showcases the natural beauty of the wood grain. It's not just functional—it's a beautiful addition to your baking tools that you'll be proud to display.

How to Use:
Adjust the blade angle and tension using the embedded screw to suit your scoring style. Hold the lame at a 30-45 degree angle to your dough and make swift, confident cuts. For decorative scoring, use a shallower angle; for deep primary cuts that create dramatic ears, use a steeper angle. The retractable design keeps the blade protected between uses.

Care Instructions:
Wipe the wooden handle clean with a damp cloth. Replace blades regularly for the cleanest cuts—dull blades can drag and tear your dough. Retract the blade fully when storing to protect both the blade and yourself.
