Each Bread Lame is unique and the wood colour will vary from piece to piece. The bread lame is an essential tool for sourdough bread baking. This tool is used by professional and amateur bakers alike to hold a razor blade, which slashes the top of your sourdough bread to create intricate decorative designs that reveal themselves as the loaf bakes. The lame makes the blade easy to manipulate, which protects your hands from the sharp edges. Most professional bakers prefer shorter lame held in the palm top to afford greater control over the blade. About Wire Monkey - Wire Monkey was started in 2018 when a man named Tyler crafted his first lame to support his wife's sourdough obsession and replace her prison shank-esque lame made from a stir stick and a razor blade. The resulting minimalist design was small and easy to use, and right in line with what professional bakers prefer. The business has since grown; they pay a living wage, and use no plastic or harsh chemicals.
