Baker of Seville Bread Lame – Now with 6 Included blades. Change from Straight or Curved Blade Lame in seconds with the Patented Design. Built for professional and serious bakers.

Super durability and a nice storage box so that the blade does not go dull in between uses. I like the fact that you can both have a curved or a straight option for the razor blade when scoring the bread. Easy to clean and storage is a breeze. Handle size is excellent and very sturdy. Also very safe to put on the razor blades carefully. Would buy again if needed… I already purchased a year ago and then purchased this one as an extra gift for a family member. Price could be a little better.....

LOVE this Lame! It works exactly like it should, but also has a strong and sturdy feel to it. The blade can be put in straight or curved, and it has a nice solid lock in detents that hold the blade firm. Overall the weigh, shape, and size make it super easy to use and brought my bread making game up a few levels. If you can only have one lame to use, this would be it!

As others are saying, this is a very high quality product and I think it will be around and still beautiful long after I'm gone. It's my first lame, so I can't compare it to others, but it definitely is sturdy and gets the job done. I have some minor complaints about it, where I think it could be improved: 1) The plastic storage box it came in is incredibly flimsy, and even though there is an arrow indicating that you should slide the lid off horizontally and little guides/indentations on the sides as though that is the only way to open it, it's so thin that the lid can simply be pulled straight off (upwards, not sliding it) and it kind of falls off when handled. I wouldn't trust this box to stay together if I was going to pack it for travel. Compared to the lame which is so beautiful and sturdy, the box is wimpy, unprotective, and low quality (although the foam insert is nice). 2) Occasionally, I feel like the screw-on cap that holds the blade in place is in the way. Depending on the angle of your work, it might poke into your dough. This wouldn't be an issue with a traditional lame. Mostly it's not an issue, but it could be, depending on what you are doing, especially because it's sticking out on the side of the curve, which means it's always pointing down at your dough. 3) I do wish that the handle had some sculpting so that it's not just totally smooth and potentially slippery. It would be nice if there was something to grip, like some indentations for your fingers (think toothbrush handle).

I recently acquired the Baker of Seville Bread Lame, which comes with six included blades and the versatility of both straight and curved options. This bread lame has truly elevated my bread-baking experience. The precision and ease of use with the included blades have made scoring dough a breeze. It provides the fine control needed to achieve beautiful designs on the crust of my bread, ensuring not only a professional appearance but also excellent oven spring. The quality and craftsmanship of this bread lame are evident, making it a valuable addition to my baking tools. It's not just a practical tool; it's a mark of dedication to the art of bread-making. If you're serious about your bread-baking endeavors and aim for consistency and artistry in your loaves, the Baker of Seville Bread Lame is a worthy investment. It has become an essential companion in my kitchen, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow bakers who seek precision and excellence.

This is my fourth and favorite lame. Initially I used inexpensive plastic ones, but didn’t care for the fact that they were disposable. My 3rd was the highly rated UFO by Wire Monkey. While a nifty and compact little device that made good cuts in the dough, it was poorly suited to my hand tremors and it was a challenge not to end up with at least one bloody cut. This one makes great cuts, with the option of having the blade straight or curved. And the nicely weighted long handle makes it a much safer tool whether your hands are steady or not. I’m having fun making different patterns of cuts in the dough, allowing for good “oven spring”. My bread looks more professional and is not bursting open in the oven. Replacement blades can be purchased easily and inexpensively, so not much is being added to the waste stream.

I have gone through several BRead Lames over the years. Most are crap so I came to amazon not expecting to find anything I would like. As I was searching I came across this product that is designed by bakers for bakers. And I thought, "this has got to be a quality product". So I took a chance and ordered it. This is a lovely lame. It does not look cheap and is perfectly weighted. Why do I mention weight? Because it's important. You want a product that has enought weight so that it stays in your hand as you are slicing through the dough. I have had lames fly out of my hand. And this is dangerous as it's a double-edged razor blade. Anyway, to date I have used this product twice. As mentioned, it is designed with bakers in mind so it's a quality product. Second, it slices through dough like buttah. It's effortless to pull the razor across dough. Yes, you have to exert a little pressure but you won't have to worry about this product flying out of your hand. It's metal. I believe SS. And it does the job it was created to do. Thank you for designing a great product. This may be the last product that a new baker thinks of but it's fairly critical because if you don't create slits in the bread, the dough will not bloom properly as it becomes bread. And to me, that makes this device the most important tool in a baker's arsenal. So, what are you waiting for? Buy it. You won't be disappointed.

This is a well made item but unfortunately, the screw head that holds the razor blade in place impedes the ability to score your sourdough as deeply as needed. It's also rather heavy. The blade is sharp and I like the storage box but I can't honestly recommend it for a serious baker.

This lame is very sturdy. It has a solid, evenly weighted (ergonomic) feel when you hold it. The lame comes in a safety case, where it is nestled in a foam bed. The case has a sleeve style sliding lid. It can't possibly fall out, even if you drop the case. The whole case is then placed in a simple cardboard box with the manufacturer's name on the cover. I keep it right near where I do most of my bread scoring. I love that it also comes with a supply of blades to replace the one that is already affixed to it. It is attached by screw at the central point, with two bumps to align with the holes in the flat surface of the blade, for stability. It is easy to rotate the blade to expose the opposite corners' edges. You simply curve the opposing corners upwards, creating a U shape, then rotate it and let it go back to its former position, only having been turned 180 degrees. The lame is well worth its cost. You're not just buying a lame. You're buying a scoring system. As long as single edge razor blades are made, this lame will hold up to the rigors of artisan bread scoring!
