Artisan bakers lame with natural beech wood handle and extra razor blades.
A lame (lahm) is a double-sided blade that is used to slash the tops of bread loaves in artisan baking. A lame is used to score (also called slashing) bread just before the bread is placed in the oven.
The blade's cutting edge is slightly concave-shaped, which allows users to cut the lip of the dough considerably thinner than would be possible with a traditional straight blade is to help get a perfect ear.
