Description
The Poco lame is the tiniest straight-blade tool ever! It’s crafted from American Black Walnut. A great lame even for those who find it hard to let go of their old blade holders. Wire Monkey has made it their quest to make a lame even smaller. Design principles: no knobs, it looks great, no plastic, and it’s simple.
When you’re scoring, make sure to keep your thumb on the blade, and after you’re done, be sure to safely tuck the blade away.
This Wire Monkey lame includes one Astra Platinum coated double edge razor blade; wrapped in paper. Please be careful when handling it.
What is a lame?
A baking lame is a tool used in baking, specifically for making bread. It’s like a small handle with a sharp blade at the end. Bakers use it to make precise cuts or scores on the surface of bread dough before it goes into the oven. These cuts help the bread expand properly while baking, creating a nice crust and allowing the bread to rise evenly. The term “lame” is French for “blade,” and the tool is handy for creating decorative patterns or controlling how the bread expands during baking.
