Wire Monkey UFO Art Style Lames

The distinctive Wire Monkey ‘UFO’ lames designed and crafted by Tyler Cartner in his workshop in Connecticut USA - Home of the original UFO Lame!

These Art style lames allows Bakers to score creative designs on their loaves with the lame acting like a pen in your hand so you can score intricate cuts at any angle on the loaf. This wouldn't be possible with a shaft type lame. 

Tyler says: “I invented the UFO lame for those who prefer to hold the razor while scoring. It allows you to remain intimate with the dough, while adding comfort and safety, and you can store the blade inside when you're done."

"We use only eco-friendly packaging, pay fair wages, are made in the USA and support the sourdough community. Feel good about what you buy."

BREAD JOURNEY : Made from Walnut wood. Features engraving designed by Anna Gabur, whose intricate bread scoring is admired world wide. You can see her work on Instagram @breadjourney and her website breadjourney.com and facebook https://www.facebook.com/breadjourney (the art scored loaf photos below are from Anna's facebook page - definitely worth a look). 

NUX : Made from Walnut wood. The UFO Nux (Latin for nut) is twice the thickness of the other UFOs and has much deeper sculpted grooves, which makes it easier to open and tighten. The design was inspired by the moon jellyfish. If you are considering one of my circular style lames and you have any type of hand disability, this is the best model for you

PEACE : Made from Walnut wood. 100% of profits from the first batch of 75 UFO Peace lames sold-were donated to Together Rising. Moving forward, 10% of the profit will go to supporting the people of Ukraine, along with other organizations promoting peace around the world

REAL BREAD : Made from Walnut wood. This version of the UFO lame is engraved with The Real Bread Campaign's logo. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these UFOs goes to The Real Bread Campaign to help with their mission: flour, water, salt. Well, that's oversimplifying a lot. Engraved with The Real Bread Campaign's logo

TIME : Extremely durable and water proof, the UFO Time is made from 100% recycled paper and food safe resin (Richlite). This is a tough UFO, and will even withstand harsh lye used in pretzel making and is dishwasher safe! The UFO Time is matte black and the texture is addictive to touch. The stainless steel hardware is custom and the screw features a ball end for comfort

ZERO : Made from Walnut wood. The UFO Zero lame was Tyler's original concept for the circular lame. Tyler says "I had 1950's scifi on the brain along with some engineering stuff and lots of my mother's card games. It's a long story!"
