“I bought one of these and despite trying many times I found that it was totally useless. When making Pane de Campagne and slashing the loaf before baking it just dragged and wouldn't enable me to make clean precise slashes. I complained to Bakery Bits and was told that my technique was at fault. So I don't ride again without success. Two weeks ago I visited the best and most long eastablished master baker in the area ( established more than 250 years ago) and asked his advice. He showed me what he uses, which was a little, very cheap serrated knife. Last week I bought one in the local market for £1.50 and is perfect. It makes very good slashes without dragging. The Landaise Lame was a total waste of £7.50 and I would recommend a serrated knife. I have given it a one star rating because I'm unable to give zero!”
“Overpriced piece of item: I wouldn't recommend anyone buying it. It doesn't even work that great. In fact, I've been scoring bread for years with just my bare hands and a Wilkinson blade with good results. I thought using a grignette would have been easier and better - I was wrong.
PS Nothing wrong with Bakery bits - they provide an outstanding service and supply top notch ingredients.”

“I bought this for my father as a Xmas gift I am already getting constant photos of his beautiful bread and how pleased he is with the lame. Certainly does the job thank you”
