Walnut Swivel Bread Lame – Compact Scoring Tool
A pocket-sized walnut lame with a swivel blade that tucks away safely inside the wood. Presented in an elegant gift box — a beautiful gift for home bakers, or a treat for yourself.
Small enough to sit in the palm of your hand, this lame is made from two pieces of solid walnut joined by a brass pivot. Swing the blade out to score, then swing it back and it sits safely between the wood — ready to drop into a drawer or your baking kit without a separate cover.
The rounded walnut body gives you a secure pinch grip close to the blade, so it is easy to control the angle and depth of every cut — from a single slash for a proud ear to finer decorative patterns. Each piece is slightly unique in grain and tone.
Comes presented in an elegant black gift box with a soft drawstring pouch for storage — ready to give as is, with no extra wrapping needed. Includes 5 replaceable razor blades in their own box. Compatible with standard double-edge safety razor blades. Each piece features a carved Flour & Water logo.

How to Score Your Bread
How to Score Your Bread
Score your dough immediately before placing it in the oven, while it is cold from the fridge — cold dough holds its shape and cuts more cleanly than warm dough.
Hold the lame at a 30–45° angle to the surface of the dough and score in one smooth, confident motion. Hesitation causes tearing. For a classic ear, make one long arc score along the top of the loaf at an angle. For decorative patterns, use the tip of the blade with lighter pressure.
Scoring depth should be approximately 1–2 cm. Too shallow and the loaf may burst at a weak point; too deep and the ear may not lift cleanly.
Scoring controls how the loaf expands during baking and creates the characteristic crust patterns that define artisan sourdough.
Blade Care & Replacement
Blade Care & Replacement
Replace your blade after every 2–3 loaves, or whenever you notice it dragging rather than gliding through the dough. A dull blade tears the dough surface and can cause the loaf to deflate — fresh blades make a noticeable difference.
After each use, carefully wipe the blade dry with a cloth to prevent rust. Store the lame with its cover on. Never leave a loaded lame loose in a drawer.
Our stainless steel razor blade pack (10 blades) keeps you stocked for months and fits both our standard scoring lame and magnetic wooden lame.
Safety
Safety
Razor blades are extremely sharp. Always fit and remove blades using the protective cover or a folded piece of card — never with bare fingers.
Store with the cover on at all times when not in use. Keep out of reach of children.
To dispose of used blades safely: wrap securely in tape or place in a small rigid container (such as an empty tin) before putting in the bin. Never place loose blades in recycling.
