A specialized piece of winter gear, for the outdoor professional or hardcore winter camper

Black Diamond says

The MacGyver saw for avalanche safety experts and backcountry travelers, the new Black Diamond Snow Saw Guide is lightweight at only 160 grams (with pit cord) and optimized for analyzing the snowpack. Featuring an integrated crystal card and polyester pit cord for cutting extended column tests that’s conveniently stored on the handle, this saw is ultra-versatile in the field, while the tooth profile is designed to cut through hard, crusty snow with ease. And when you’re all done in the pit, the lightweight clip sheath protects the saw and your pack during storage.

With 1mm and 3mm guide for accurately predicting snow crystals, it also come with a 150 cm long 3mm polyester cord wrapped around the handle.
