Snow saw
A snow saw is a saw used to saw blocks of snow to build igloos . Snow saws look similar to foxtail saws. The length of the saw blade is derived from the average edge length of the blocks to be cut and usually measures around 50 cm. They have large saw teeth with a pitch of 2..3 cm. The blade is often serrated on both sides so that you can work in both directions. The saw blade is usually made of aluminum so that the saw is easy to transport. The handle is traditionally straight, or angled up to 45 ° for more ergonomic work. The handle is often made of lightweight plastic that the snow won't freeze to.
The snow saw or snow knife is the only tool needed to build an igloo .
