A razor blade scores plain dough well enough, but once walnuts, seeds, or dried fruit go into the mix, a thin razor tends to catch and drag. The Suncraft Patissiere Bread Lame gets around that with a two-part edge: a straight section at the tip for shallow, clean cuts across the skin of a baguette or boule, and a serrated section behind it that saws through inclusions without tearing the loaf.
Made in Seki, Japan from stainless cutlery steel, the lame weighs about 3 grams and handles like a fine pen. Bakers use it for straight scores on country loaves, deep cuts on dense rye breads, and the decorative patterns cut into puff pastry for a galette des rois. Because it is a solid knife rather than a disposable blade, there is nothing to swap out partway through a bake.
Care Instructions: Hand wash and dry immediately. Store with the edge protected. The edge is very sharp, so handle with care.
