I decided to try this lame and have been very pleased with the results

I'm an avid bread baker and wanted to improve the technique I use for slashing my loaves. I decided to try this lame and have been very pleased with the results.

Highly recommed this lame.

Great lame. Comes with one blade and cover. Great idea that cover. VERY easy and very safe to pop open and close to replace or clean blade. I purchased extra 'Feather' brand razor blades to use with this lame and together they are a marvelous combination. Of course, lame razor works best with very cold dough and dryer dough surface.

Great, durable, long-use, lame.

I purchased this Lame for my production bakery. Our current one broke suddenly, and we only had a dull one that you couldn't replace the blade on, so we needed a quick replacement. My immediate critic to the reviews saying this is "dangerous", yes, it is! It's two sided razor blade meant for bread baking. Plus, you should always use caution when using any sort of sharp knife. "theEditor", do you break all of your kitchen knives in half too? A common issue with a Lame is, they don't have a replaceable blade option and you are stuck buying the blade-handle combo, this one is well worth the $17 (and free prime shipping??) if you will be using it enough to warrant needing to replace blades. Please don't make a makeshift jerry-rigged lame with a clothes pin or wooden stir stick. THAT is dangerous!!! So, are you in to bread baking? Will you be making it regularly to warrant the need of replacement blades? Then buy this lame! Did you say no to any of these questions? Buy this one for $11 (it still comes with a cover!) http://www.amazon.com/HIC-Grignette-Dough-Blade-Blades/dp/B0000CFGMQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1424402629&sr=8-8&keywords=lame

No More Weird Bulgy Baguettes

I have been baking all my own bread the last few years, mostly French and Italian baguettes and batards, and after having tried a very sharp knife, an new exact-o blade, a new box cutter blade, a new single-edged razor blade, even scissors with no success, I finally threw up my hands in disgust and ordered this lame. My bread is delicious, but the slashes are essential to proper oven-spring, and nothing does it like a razor blade to get the proper depth and angle. Silly little tool, but I absolutely love it. It's worth the "dough" (sorry).

My first time having a bread that didn't look like it burst open

After watching the video, instead of making a cutting motion, I sliced it from the side. I will probably do better the next time but despite the cut not being very deep, my bread came out perfect instead of how it normally looks like it had burst open! Very happy!

Fabulous!

After I learned to hold it correctly, I realized just how amazing this lamé is! Super sharp, zero pulling at the dough (if I don't let my hand out of position), well bent, and leads to flawless bread. I've scored about a dozen loaves properly (and quite a few improperly before that), and it's still cutting like the first time I used it. Truly, find some videos on how to use/hold the tool. You won't regret it. I won't say that anyone having bad results is experiencing user error, but that was the case with me!

I love this bread lame

I love this bread lame. As an avid home baker (predominantly breads) with an enthusiastic bread eating husband, I’ve been super happy with the way this item holds up. It’s very sharp, won’t deflate your hard won risen dough and makes even the simplest bread recipe look fantastic. I would most certainly buy from this company again.

Works great on round loaves

I've been using a curved lame on my round sourdough loaves because I didn't know any different. This straight lame made a big difference! I've learned (through YouTube tutorials), straight lames are for round loaves and curved lames are for long loaves like baguettes. Hopefully that helps if you're a beginner like me!

Carves high-gluten dough sans drag.

This tool will elegantly stress-relieve taut baguette tops so they blossom with oven spring. More than a double-edged razor blade on a stick. Ergonomic handle improves digital control, very welcome for an inherently fool-proof resistant device. Precisely curves the blade in the arc required to carve high-gluten doughs. Comes with a very welcome safety cover for the head. Helpful instructions packed with the product. Snap latch facilitates replacing the sharp without nicking nuckles. Blade is captured and cannot inadvertently slip off during use. This is an adult-only professional calibre device which should not be stored in a child accessible location. No batteries required.

It will make you grigne. :)

As an avid bread baker, for years I've scorned the lame as a functionless addition to my bread baking kit, rather using a double-edged razor without a handle, and keeping things cheap. That said, Ialways had an inkling that the curved blade might help, especially given the shapes of more traditional French blades. So, I eventually ponied up for this, despite the high consumer to manufacturing cost ratio. Well, it turns out I was right, as the curve does offer the user an excellent angle of approach for the slashing of the crust. Honestly, I should have just done this years ago, especially at such a modest price.
