Metal lame handle???


I am currently using the coffe stirrer + razor blade method and would like something more permanent.  I have seen these somewhere before from what I can remember there were 2 one was a straight one and one was curved.  I am totally lost as to where I did see them and just did a search on Google and came up with nothing.  So can anyone remind me where I did see this item as I am getting tired of having to carve my coffe stirrers to fit throught the razor blades.  Also I have tried the plastic disposable lames that they sell alot of places and have found them to bee quite dull compared to the traditional double edged razor.

Hi, JIP.

I seem to remember seeing what you describe on a French or German web site. I am sorry I don't recall more detail.

However, a number of us are enamored of the Pure Komachi serrated tomato knife as the best tool for bread scoring we have found. Here's a link:

this is what I use. At first

this is what I use. At first I thought I must change it into a proper handle. But as time goes on, it works so I left it.

Well I have all manner of

Well I have all manner of improvised handles.  As I said I am currently using the coffee stirrer method. 

And I like using it since it keeps the blade curved but since the stirrer is a pain to whittle small enough I would like to have something with a littl more permanence.
