- UFO Bread Lame, Sourdough Scoring Tool, 15 Blades with Storage Cover

Cuts nice and easy to set up and use. Blade is of good quality and very, very sharp (accidentally made a small cut on my thumb when I was seeing how sharp it was)

I bought these for my businesses to score our bread before baking. You do have to hold the blade at an angle when scoring otherwise the bottom corner will catch the bread and “snag” it. The blades are sharp, easy to put on and remove, and the handle is great so it doesn’t slip while wearing gloves or during use. It is easy to clean and store, as it comes with a small leather cover that fits over the blade to protect it and keep it clean. You also get a handful of replacement blades with the tool. The blades do occasionally fall off, but it isn’t to the point of not purchasing this tool. I will continue to purchase for my businesses going forward.

this bread lame is super sharp and works amazing on my sourdoughs, it has a nice handle that is comfortable to hold, and i have made some really nice and intricate designs with the extra razors without attaching to the tool, i am really happy with the results i have got using this product

Finally! This is the best lame that I have used! It cuts right through the dough, doesn’t drag and can’t wait to use it for more decorative designs! This makes my fifth buy of lames! Try this one! It is great! The only issue is that blade doesn’t retract for storing! This is a n edit: I have cut my fingers while changing the blade on this lame! Now I am too afraid to use it! It does come w 2 tiny finger protectors which makes it very hard to use!

I’ve been baking sourdough loaves for about 8 years, a couple times a month. I always just used a very sharp knife to slash my bread before putting it in the oven, and so considered getting an actual lame a waste of money/kitchen drawer space (we have so many kitchen gadgets that I try to avoid anything that only serves one specific purpose). Also, I just didn’t feel like I bake enough bread to warrant this. But, I’m ashamed to say, seeing all these pandemic bakers score beautiful designs and make gorgeous bread after only just learning how to bake bread, finally convinced me I should try. And I’m so glad I did! It makes a huge, immediate difference. The blade is so thin compared to knives, so it just slips right into the loaf to slash it. I’m not sure I can articulate the difference, but if you are using a knife and think it’s similar enough, just trust me and give this a try. The difference it makes is astonishing. And as for the artsy design scoring: yup. My first attempt at making a pretty pattern, and it came out amazingly. That is all due to the lame and not to any skills on my part, I promise. So if, like me, you are thinking this won’t make a big enough difference, or you don’t bake enough or aren’t good enough at baking bread yet to deserve this purchase, just get it. It will make a huge difference and yes, you totally deserve it!

Cuts great, easy to use. Appreciate the leather cover for storing in my kitchen drawer.

Out of 4 lames that I bought, this one is by far the best one. The first one was part of a $10 bread making set and it was terrible. The blade couldn’t come off and it was dull from the start. The second one was a UFO lame which works wonderfully with an easily replaceable blade except for the fact it’s not curved. I make baguettes twice as often as boules/batards and I want an ear! I got a third lame which was nice except there wasn’t much of a grip and the blade would sometimes move down the handle. When I got this one, all of my problems were solved! the handle was big and had a strong grip, the blade was curved and easily replaceable, and there was a stopper that prevented the blade from sliding down. It also came with a pack of 9 or 10 blades and a leather cover that slips onto the blade, something the third one didn’t have.

I don’t love it. It’s kind of a headache to put everything together when bread making is already a headache. I feel like it’s kind of a waste. Just grab a razor and do it by hand is easier.

I looked at many selected this one and I picked a good one. Good and sturdy handle. Instructions, so easy to apply the blade. Has a leather sheaf that is good I keep it in the box.

Produto excelente! Proporciona precisão nos cortes e de fácil manuseio.

1 1/2 yrs after purchasing and I am still using and happy with my purchase. It does a great job with my sourdough and that's why I've given it 5 stars. The little storage cover is nice and all the extra blades. I actually haven't even had to replace the blade yet and I make sourdough quite often.

Works as it should.

I have used this product before and was very happy with it. I would not use anything else. It is a must have in my kitchen. Easy to use and durable.
