“Have put off buying a Lame fo a while due to prices & just use a blade. Took the plunge to purchase due to price. Disappointed; due to the design , the way the blade is held in by the holder i cannot get a clean cut on the dough. The plastic frame catches before the blade cuts. I would not buy again”
“This lame is a recent purchase and, on the two occasions I have used it, it gave good results. So did Bakery Bits own little red-handled lame, which I have used many times, but that one is single blade and disposable when worn out, whereas this Bordelaise lame has the potential benefit of accepting a standard razor blade, packs of which I buy anyway for my razor. How easy it will be to change the blade of the Bordelaise and how durable its plastic arms are will be discovered in due course.”
“I lost my last lame, and no matter how much you sharpen an ordinary knife, if just won't work the same on soft dough. So I bought this one, and it's pretty good.”
