Lame Knives
The dramatic bloom and rustic "ear" on an artisan loaf are the baker's signature—the final mark of a well-crafted bread. This is achieved in the moments just before baking with a swift, confident score. A baker's lame is the definitive instrument for this critical task. Unlike a simple knife that can snag and drag the delicate skin of the dough, a lame holds a surgically sharp razor blade at the perfect angle for a clean, effortless cut. This single motion directs the oven spring, allowing your loaf to expand to its full potential and creating the beautiful, professional finish you're looking for.
