PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
In designing the Bonesaw, G3 got together with guides and avalanche professionals to see which features were useful and which ones were useless. After months of design and testing with skiers who spend 100 days in the backcountry each year, they've got it dialed. The G3 Bonesaw has become one of the most versatile snow saws available. This burly saw has offset teeth that can cut snow, ice, and even wood. It comes with a durable sheath for easy carrying. The best part is that with two included straps, you can attach this saw to just about anything. Strap it onto your ski pole, avie probe, shovel handle, long stick, or anything else that's at hand to increase your reach for cutting test pits and Rutschblocks. For easy snow safety research there are measurements on the blade aid in making consistent cuts for tests and there are three different grids for determining snow crystal size.
Bottom line
Everything you could ever want in a snow saw.
Product Reviews
G3 Bonesaw
Small size, sharp teeth, flimsy sheath to carry in. A bit on the pricey side.
Compact
If you are looking for a versatile snow saw, this is the one, lightweight and compact. Cuts very well. The only thing that can be improved is the handle ... if they can make it a little bigger, it would fit our gloves/mittens better.
Ultimate Utility
Personally I am a fan. This is a great tool for snow science. One of my favorite features is that it has a measuring grid on the side. As we all know, snow is constantly morphing due to temperature changes. I used to use the plastic case that my magnifying glass sits in or a plastic card to look at snow crystals, but the variable speed that they degrade was sometimes frustrating. The beauty of the aluminum is that if you keep it out of the sun it will be nearly the same temperature as the snow which is good for a quick analysis of crystal types. Other than that I think it is perfect for cutting a profile, building a table, or cutting a small cornice. The handle is great and doesn’t slip out of my glove. Thank you for another innovative design!
Does the trick
I used this saw recently for both digging snow pits and brush on a brushy approach. In both situations this saw performs flawlessly. I like its small size and surprisingly the grip is well designed over other saws I've used. The sheath is dainty, but stays on most of the time. Left handed folks could find the grip uncomfortable.
g3 for guiding
Being a guide up here at valdez heli camps, i've put the g3 to the test. everything from cutting wands for lz's and pz's to cutting columns pit after pit, the g3 seems to hold up just fine. i haven't used it to cut cornices, so i can't say how the attachment system works. the only thing i wonder is if any one has has issue with it bending? i haven't yet so overall a great tool
