These are handcrafted bread lames. A Lame (pronounced LAHM, meaning “blade” in French) is used to hold a razor used to score bread dough which to helps to control the expansion of the loaf as it bakes. Each lame is shaped contoured and shaped by entirely by hand using a combination of techniques so each will have slight unique variations. The Lames are fitted with brass plates also cut by hand and knurled brass thumb screws for tightening the blade in place by pinching it between the wood.
