Bread BossesBread Bakers Lame Slashing Tool - Dough Making Slasher Tools Baking Sourdough Bread Starter Jar Scoring Knife Razor Cutter Slashing Tool Accessories for Cutting Supplies -Great As A Gift

This is a great product and comes in its own little wooden box for safe keeping when not in use. Even the bottom of the box is lined. It also has extra blades and and has its own leather pouch to cover the blade. Easy to hold and easy to use to cut delicate or wide slashes in bread dough. I really enjoy using this as I bake bread at least twice on a weekly basis. Makes beautiful cuts on pies also. The only thing I would suggest is that it come with a small paper showing different cuts as a suggestion of what this tool can make. You can find different examples on Utube of many bakers making these cuts, but it would be nice if it came with its own. This is a must for bread and pie makers to have on hand in the kitchen. No digging in a drawer for a sharp tool that can cut fingers. When needed, just reach for the wooden box. Love this tool.

I recently started making sourdough bread and was using a single edge razor blade to score the top. It worked but not easily or very well. I was certain there had to be a tool so I searched.I found this one and decided to buy two, one for me and one for my daughter, another new baker.I am thrilled with it! Here’s why...It is very well made with a nice wood handle. Very attractive (and sharp so be careful)It comes with extra bladesIt scores the dough so easily with a curved slice. I’m still learning so not perfect yet but I’ll get there!It has a small leather “pouch” that covers the blade when not in useAn information card is included with a link to additional information.AND...it all comes in a beautiful wooden box, that slides open and is branded on the top with their logo.Perfect for me! Perfect for gift giving! Something you’d be proud to give to another bread baker!

I make a lot of artisan breads so this is a very handy tool. I have used serrated knives in the past but they always drag across the surface and make nodules along the path of the cut. This cuts neatly and cleanly and it is easy to go back over an initial cut. Like most lames you need to make sure that you are cutting with a leading edge and not the whole blade, or the blade tends to dig in and make an irregular cut. It feels good in the hand and is easy to use. It works well on sourdough breads, which often are more delicate than some of the yeast breads. I bought an additional one for my daughter-in-law. I am not sure what the significance is of maneuverability but I gave four stars because it is long enough to induce some caution when trying to cut a loaf that is deep in a flaming hot pot, but then it likely true of any lame.

The lame itself works well and the company seems to care about their products, but the box it comes in is very cheap. Better than no box at all, but it’s definitely not high quality. Comes with extra blades. All are packaged well and safely. Blades are very sharp and cut accurately. Recommend to get the job done, but if you want better quality all around you might want to check out Etsy.

Great product! Makes my bread look amazing, easy to use and great storage box

Awesome quality, very sharp and beautiful. The packaging is very good looking and useful. With additional cover for razor, which is very helpful.

Great gift for the sourdough bread making lovers. Comes in a fancy looking box with multiple cutter refills.

This is a very good product for several reasons.1. I love that the Bread Bosses lame comes in a wooden box and has a leather blade cover. This is very important for the safety of anyone who happens to put their hand in my utensil drawer.2. The woodgrain handle of the lame is beautiful!3. At $15 and change this product is a great value. I have seen and purchased lesser lames for twice that price.4. It is lightweight and the size fits near perfectly in my small hands.Cons:1. The lame may be a little too light weight for my liking. The lightness of the lame made it a bit difficult to manipulate with confidence. Although, I confess that could be more me being a little rusty with my skills, than the lame weight, so I did not mark off for it.2. I have noticed, since my first use, that the razor blade on the Bread Bosses lame is quite curved. A lot more curved than the razor blade on my Breadtopia lame. This may also cause a learning curve for some users, it did for me. However, I also did not mark off for this, because it is an individual preference issue not a design defect.All in all, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and will continue to use the lame.
