In order to achieve a nice "ear" for your sourdough loaf, you'll need a Lame (pronounced LAHM, meaning “blade” in French)! It's typically a long thin stick made to hold a metal razor used to cut or score bread dough to help control the expansion of the loaf as it bakes.

What's special about this lame:

• A easy grip handle allows for steady control and accurate cutting.
• Replaceable double edge blades that's easily to find.
• Cute baguette shaped handle

Please note: the handle is made of plastic, if you're looking for a completely plastic free version, check out the Compact Cherrywood Lame.
