“I've tried all sort of knives and blades to slash the top of a loaf before baking, without success. In fact, I usually ended up deflating the loaf in the process. This worked perfectly first time - deep, clean cut and the loaf rose up around it in the oven, just as I'd hoped. Easy to use and safe to store - well worth it.
Service was excellent too. Thank you.”

“I have struggled with this for slashing baguettes for a while. The blade is certainly sharp but it is too easy to go slightly deep and then the blue 'knob' catches and drags the dough. Seem to get better results with a sharp serrated knife. Good if you just want shallow slashes - or perhaps it is just my poor technique”

“The blade seems good and cuts well. Not tried cuts with bent blade yet. Holder seems sturdy enough. I did previously get a yellow-handled fixed-blade curved "Grignette or Lame" for around £4 and, whilst I'm sure there's a family member to blame, the handle snapped off in a drawer before long. Although this Bordelaise model isn't cheap, I'm hopeful that it'll last much longer with refills etc. The cover seems to fit snuggly enough to keep the blade safe, and presumably allows a curved blade to be covered without bending flat again.”
