“This is an excellent value lame, and contributed to the gorgeous loaves of sourdough I baked this morning. However, I'd caution that it's important not to over-prove your dough, and I also find it much easier to slash chilled dough (i.e. which I've retarded for the second prove in the fridge overnight). Last week I tried to slash room-temp dough and encountered the same dragging I used to get when using sharp knives - albeit less with the Bordelaise.”
“After struggling with a cheap plastic lame (which was never very sharp) for a while I thought it was time to invest in something decent.
This did not disappoint, feels solid and is very sharp so making cuts in dough is really easy. Wish I'd got one a while back”
“This is my first and only lame, I bought it for slashing sourdough, seems good quality and slices through a loaf like butter. Just need to develop the skill to use it better!”
“This is a good quality blade and so easy to score your dough with. Wish I’d found this before, so much better than using the sharpest knife I could find.”
