How to Assemble, Use & Store Your Bread Lame Safely

This guide shows you how to assemble your bread lame, grip it for optimal control, and store it safely when finished.

1. Assembly Instructions

Step 1 — Insert the Blade Carefully Holding it with protective gloves or by the dull side, insert the sharp blade into the slots with the cutting edge facing outward.

Step 2: Slide the blade holder into the aluminum handle until fully seated.

Step 3: Rotate clockwise until securely locked in place.

 

2. Use a Pen-Style Grip for Control

Hold the bread lame like a writing pen. This gives you better precision over simple slicing motions and lets you create beautiful scoring patterns.

Quick Tips

  • Use light, shallow cuts for decorative scoring.
  • Make shallow cuts first to test the visual effect.
  • Score just before baking for the best rise.
  • Clean the blade after use for best performance.
  • If the blade dulls, replace it with one of the extra blades included.

 

3. Store the Bread Lame Safely Using the Protective Cap 

Always cover the blade when not in use to prevent accidental cuts and extend blade life.
