Featured photo of a beautiful loaf scored with the Poco lame from Rachel Pardoe @sourdough _enzo
Please note that the Poco design has been modified from the version shown in the photos. The Poco now has only one inner ball, which holds the blade in place when stored. The outer ball has been removed from the design as the thumb is intended to hold the blade in place at all times when in use.
The Poco lame is the smallest straight-blade lame in the world! It's made of American Black Walnut and is meant for blade holders, specifically the ones who were stubborn enough to dare not embrace the UFO or Arc lames! You know who you are! So, I took it as a personal challenge to go even smaller: maintaining our design philosophy of no knobs, beautiful aesthetics, no plastics, simple. You keep your thumb on the blade while scoring, intimate, but it's much safer than handling a bare blade. And when you're done, just tuck the blade inside for safe keeping.
All Pocos are made in our family owned small shop in Fairfield, Connecticut USA. We believe in fair wages, using no plastics or harsh chemicals and giving back to the baking community.
While you're here, pick up some of our fractionated coconut oil to keep your lame hydrated and a fine bristle brass brush for keeping it clean!
One Astra Platinum coated double edge razor blade included; wrapped in paper. Please be careful when handling.
No chemicals are used to treat our wooden lames. Instead, they are soaked in our fractionated coconut oil prior to packaging, to prevent them from drying out. Oil seepage onto the packaging envelope will occur, and is normal.
Cheers and happy scoring!
