I have tried a bunch of different scorers and they never seem to work as well as I would like. This is bout the best of them all, but sometimes I think plain old razor blades remain the best bet. It depends also on what kind of bread you are making. On bigger loaves with flatter surfaces, this has a sharp point on the tip that tends to dig in and catch. On more rounded baguettes, the inner part of the concave knife works pretty well.

I have had this dough scorer for 6 years now, and it still cuts bread like a dream. This thing was made for french bread, italian bread and baguettes. I have a harder time with it when I cut sourdough. Funny enough, a sharp Victorinox steak knife does the job for that quite well. As of today, I can say I've cut thousands and thousands of loaves with this thing. I can't live without it. The case is falling apart and I've taped it together with black electrical tape at this point, but the scorer continues to function fantastically.

Great bread knife to score bread before they enter the oven and it comes with a little case to keep it in so you dont cut yourself while not using.

This is a must have tool for any baker. It is well made and small enough to fit in your pocket. Even if it is used everyday, the blade stays sharp and it does the job better than expected.

This is a great tool to have. It does a great job at slicing bread dough and scoring bread. The only downfall to it is that I tend to just use it than put it in my pocket and forget to wash it until I need it again. It does stays sharp after a lot of uses so you wouldn't need to buy another one for a long time.

Interesting Little tool, size is definitely smaller than what the picture seems to make you think size of a small folding pocket knife, this dough scorer has slight serrations (think like a bread knife) and is razor sharp. It works great for slitting your artisan loaves. Overall a great little tool.

Great little knife to use for scoring bread. Stays sharp after multiple uses. Just wish that it would cut as easily and smoothly as a razor blade does.

I had been looking for a great bread scoring knife for a long time. I tried all kinds of knives, large and small. I even tried a new box cutter but I wasn't getting good results. My leavened doughs would always be dragged back by the blade, so frustrating! Finally, I saw this Victorinox online, watched a couple of youtubes and decided that I had to have it. I am very happy with this purchase because leavened doughs are sometimes very delicate and the last thing you want is to deflate them by using the wrong tool. Its price kept me thinking about it for a while but I bake so often that at the end it was money well spent.

Great knife! Small enough to keep in your pocket but works with just about anything you need a small knife for. Blade is very sharp and stays sharp for quite a while. I have 3 of these knifes and use them for different applications and my oldest one is close to 2 years of daily use and it does show its age a little but it still has a very strong clasp keeping it open or shut and the blade gets the job done. The tip has worn a bit but i'm pretty rough on knifes.

This is a super sharp little knife that is perfect for cutting large slabs of dough. It's also great for scoring the loaves--much sturdier and harder to misplace that a razor blade.
