Folding Walnut Bread Lame with 5 Replacement Blades

A walnut lame that folds shut like a pocket knife, so the blade lives inside the handle rather than under a sheath you will eventually lose. Open it, score, fold it, put it in the drawer.

A brass thumb screw sets how tightly the blade is held, so it does not shift mid-cut. The handle is slim enough to hold like a pen, useful for anything more detailed than one score down the middle.

This is the one to pick if the lame is going in a drawer with other utensils, or travelling with you. If you would rather have the blade fixed and exposed, the traditional walnut lame is the simpler tool.

Comes with five replacement blades.

When the blades run out

Change the blade the moment it drags rather than slices, because a dull blade tears the surface of the dough and technique will not save it. It takes any standard double-edge razor blade. We stock Japanese Feather Hi-Stainless blades, which hold an edge through wet dough better than most.

Features

  • Folds closed, blade inside the handle
  • Walnut handle with a natural grain finish
  • Brass thumb screw holds the blade steady
  • Suits expansion scores and decorative patterns
  • Slim enough to hold like a pen
  • 5 replacement razor blades included

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask us before they buy, and the things they ask after.

Read the guides
What is a lame for?
Scoring the dough just before baking so it expands in a controlled way and opens into an ear.
Which blade does it take?
Standard double sided razor blades. Swap the blade when it starts to drag rather than slice.
Any tips for a clean score?
Score cold, firm dough with a confident, shallow, angled cut in one motion. Do not saw at it.
How do I store it safely?
The blade is sharp, so cover or retract it after use and keep it well away from children.

I love it, so easy to use and much safer than the UFO lame I had previously which cut my finger badly while I was trying to turn the lime. This lame is perfect and the blade is easy to bring out to use and tuck back safely when not in use

Difficult/dangerous to get blade out for scoring and also difficult to lock blade in cutting profile with the very small locking screw head.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced with the blade. The device can be fiddly whilst you are getting used to it. Simply release the holding screw, and the blade will rotate clockwise. Once it's in place, tighten the screw and before use. Undertake the same process again to close the blade away.

Smart, attractive lame. Bought it as a present and it went down very well although it hasn't been used yet.
