I never get a good ear on my sourdough loafs and can't figure out why

I feel like my score is pretty deep, and I spray some water to create steam which I read should help. Any ideas?

Thin, very sharp blade and angle it more. Some lames are curved which helps. What do you use now?

I like baking /goodbread and building apps on web3 protocols. DevRel @ ENS Labs. gregskril.com

I use something basic like in your picture - handle with a razor blade. I'm able to make the cuts without a problem but for some reason the ear just isn't very defined
