Victorinox Folding Baker's Knife (Lame) 2.5-Inch Serrated

Master the Art of the Perfect Ear: The Permanent Solution for Artisan Scoring


For the serious baker, scoring is more than just a decorative touch—it is a critical final step that controls the expansion of the loaf during the 'oven spring.' Traditional lames often rely on flimsy, disposable razor blades that rust quickly and require frequent, fiddly replacements. The Victorinox Folding Baker's Knife (Lame) is designed to be the last scoring tool you will ever need to buy.


Crafted with the same precision as Victorinox’s world-famous Swiss Army Knives, this specialized tool features a 2.5-inch high-carbon stainless steel blade with a unique serrated edge. Unlike straight-edge razors that can drag or snag on high-hydration doughs, these micro-serrations bite into the surface of the risen dough effortlessly. The 'bird’s beak' curvature is mathematically aligned to match the natural contour of round boules and oblong batards, allowing you to achieve deep, consistent slashes without deflating your leavened dough.


Comfort and safety are paramount in a professional bakery environment. This tool features a sturdy, cast aluminum handle that provides a balanced weight in the hand, ensuring every cut is intentional and controlled. When the work is done, the blade folds safely into the handle for compact storage. Included is a premium leather case, protecting the edge and ensuring that your most vital pastry tool remains 'Victorinox sharp' for years of daily service. Switch from disposable to dependable with a tool built for the rigors of professional production.
