Why We Like The Snow Saw Guide
Black Diamond's Snow Saw Guide gives more than just an edge against cutting through slabs of snow. There's a crystal card printed on the side to evaluate individual flakes, and the pit cord wrapped around the handle helps you cut out extended columns of snow for further evaluation.

Snow saw
Great snow saw, sheath isn’t my favorite but seems to hold fine so far. Like the handle with the ability to store cord

SAW
Very nice saw only complaint would be I wish the sheath was a little bit nicer, feels cheap.

Lightweight Perfection
Great saw for your winter backcountry kit. Everything you need in a snow saw and nothing you don’t.

Lightweight snow saw cuts columns
I wanted a minimalist saw for a lightweight backcountry kit to stock a JetForce UL 26L pack. This saw is smaller than my other ones and is very light ~165g as advertised. Unfortunately, it just barely fits in the saw sleeve of the pack and is a struggle to zip up when the pack is loaded with a day's worth of gear. More a backpack problem than a saw problem; I may shorten the handle area with an angle grinder to make for more compact carry. The edge guard works okay for now, but relies on lateral grip of thin plastic that has no point guard at the end like the G3 model: when this gets to be a few seasons old I expect it won't stay on when sliding the saw into the pack.

Small saw that doesn’t take up space
There’s a 30 cm mark, but I added marks for every 5 cm. Snow card area is small, but it works fine so long as it stays in the shade or snow. I don’t mind the angled handle, but I do prefer straight ones.

Fine snow saw
Pretty nice snow saw. String idea sounds nice but it’s really finicky to put back when you’re done with your pits. The saw is super light though and great build quality

Effective saw, surprisingly light
Well made, no moving parts, and surprisingly light, very happy with this so far.

Lightweight and multipurpose use
Normally, there's not much to say about a snow saw. Is it light and does it cut snow, ice, and wood? Yes. It's also not so unusual to have a built in crystal card and 30cm measurement on the blade but the addition of the built in ECT cord on the handle is the cherry on top for me. Wrapping it all up into an extremely light yet maneuverable blade makes this my top pick for any day out.
