This beautiful Premium Artisan Bakers Blade/ Lame set is made of high quality stainless steel with ergonomic timber handle and is a 'must have' professional tool for creators of hand crafted breads.  Smartly gift-packed in a rustic presentation box - it makes a great stocking filler for the artisan baker.  

A lame is a double-sided blade that is used to slash the tops of bread loaves in artisan baking. A lame is used to score bread just before the bread is placed in the oven.

Scoring or slashing the dough with a blade allows it to expand during baking. The purpose is primarily to control the direction in which the bread will open or bloom during “oven spring” so that the gases produced by the yeast or fermented sour dough can escape without destroying the bread.  It can also be used decoratively to showcase a bakers skill or indicate different bread varieties (ie rye vs wholemeal) on a bakery display shelf. 

• Ergonomic wooden handle
