$11.95

Make clean, confident cuts — without the fuss of handling a razor blade. The Matfer Baker’s Blade Bread Scoring Lame (4 3/4") is a single-piece scoring tool with a sharp plastic edge, designed to be safer to handle with bare hands while still giving you the control you need for great oven spring and a beautiful bloom.

Best for

Home bakers and pros who want a simple, low-fuss bread lame
Everyday scoring on sourdough boules, bâtards, and pan loaves
Anyone who prefers a tool that’s quick to grab, easy to control, and safer to handle

Why you’ll like it

Single-piece design: no blade installation, no loose parts
Compact 4 3/4" length: easy to maneuver and store
Helps guide expansion for better oven spring and cleaner crust patterns
Great for both straight scoring lines and gentle curves depending on your angle and motion

How to get cleaner scores (quick tips)

For the best results, score when your dough surface is slightly dry to the touch. If your dough is high-hydration, a short chill (even 10–20 minutes) can help firm it up. Dust the loaf lightly with flour to reduce dragging, then score at a shallow angle with one decisive stroke — avoid “sawing” back and forth.

Baguettes: 4–5 overlapping cuts along the length

Boules/bâtards: one long slash or a simple cross for controlled opening

Which one should I buy?

If you want the simplest option with safer handling, choose 120025. If you primarily score baguettes and want a longer tool with a stainless steel blade feel, consider the Matfer 120006 (6") double-edged model.

Many products we sell at Gusta Supplies are exactly what we use in class -- authentic ingredients and professional-grade tools used in high end hotels and restaurants. We hope you enjoy using these products as much as our chefs favour them.

Bread Lame

This is actually a question. Is it for straight cuts? Do I need to insert a razor blade? Or do I just cut without the blade? Perhaps the top is the blade itself? Thanks!

Hello CG! Thank you for the question! This is an innovative product by Matfer where the sharp plastic top is used to cut, straight or curve depending on which side you hold. The sharp plastic top is designed such that it's safer to handle by bare hands. Happy baking!
