I just had the problem of a rusty blade, which broke when I tried to remove it (& I kind of wonder if it wasn’t actually removable). Anyway, in case it’s any help to others, I grabbed a wooden skewer, bent a razor blade (gingerly) holding the 2 short ends, & threaded the skewer through the holes at each end of the blade. Super simple and just as good as the lame I had. If this is hard to picture, there are videos of DIY lames.
