The $5 amnesty

We are not asking you to recycle another broken scraper. We are asking you to stop needing another one.

  1. 01

    Break your old one

    On camera. The cracked handle, the worn edge, the one that has been under the passenger seat since 2021. It has served its time.

  2. 02

    Send us the video

    Mail it to amnesty@skiscraper.example. We are not precious about the production values, and the address you send it from is the address the code comes back to. Sending it hands us the right to use it — the third condition below says exactly what that covers.

  3. 03

    Get $5 off

    We send back a code. It works on anything in the store, once, and it does not expire while the season lasts.

Send the videoRead the whole thing

Get $5 off: break an ice scraper you already own, on camera, and mail the video to amnesty@skiscraper.example. We reply with a code.

  • One code per person. It is worth $5 off a single order, it cannot be spent alongside another code or exchanged for cash, and it lasts the season it was issued in.
  • A scraper bought in order to be broken does not count, and neither does one that was never yours.
  • Sending us the video gives us the right to use it. That is a permanent, worldwide, unpaid permission to copy it, cut it, subtitle it, publish it anywhere and use it for any purpose we choose — advertising, packaging and this shop included, and including as material for training machine-learning models. We can pass that permission on to the people who work with us. You go on owning the video and can do whatever you like with it yourself, but you cannot ask us to stop once you have sent it.
  • Send only a video you filmed yourself. Everybody who can be recognised in it has to have agreed to the line above before it reaches us, and if you are the one holding the camera, that includes whoever is in front of it.

Break it outdoors, on the ground, with eye protection on and nobody standing near you. Polypropylene does not bend first — it lets go all at once, and the pieces travel.

The war on ice scrapers

Long ago, in a mountain not too far from your home…

For generations, one weapon has controlled the windshield. The plastic ice scraper. Cheap to make. Cheap to buy. Cheap to replace.

It was everywhere. In garages. In cars. At gas stations. Forgotten underneath the passenger seat. And for years, nobody questioned it.

They thought we wouldn't notice. They thought we wouldn't notice the cracking plastic. The broken handles. The blades that wore down. The endless cycle of buying another one.

They thought the plastic ice scraper would rule forever. Then, in August 2024, everything changed.

A Kickstarter was launched. Skiers and snowboarders joined the cause. And from the mountains came something different.

Not another plastic scraper. A weapon. Built to last. Built to survive. Built for the people who actually live for winter.

The Ski Scraper. For the first time, the plastic ice scraper had an enemy.

The battle was no longer between people and ice. It was Ski Scraper vs. Ice Scraper. One would be built to break. The other would be built to last.

The plastic ice scraper had numbers. It had history. It had been around forever. But it had one problem. We were paying attention.

The first battles have already been fought. Some were won. Some were lost. But the rebellion is growing.

The Ski Scraper is now being produced at immense speed. And the war is spreading. There is no going back. The old way had its chance.

Now… The Ski Scraper has entered the fight. The rebellion has begun. And this war… this war we will not lose.

Five replacement blades in Blaze, shingled and seen from above — each one showing the row of serrations along its working edge, the front blade carrying the moulded mountain mark.

Replacement Blades

Five spare edges for a scraper you already own.

  • Made for −30 °C

    The copolymer stays flexible at the temperature the job actually happens in. The wedge from the petrol station goes brittle and snaps.

  • The edge unclips

    When the blade wears down you replace 24 g of it, not the tool. The handle you paid for stays yours.

  • Two-year warranty

    Break it doing the job it is for and we replace it. That is the entire policy.

Build with us.

Your colours on all three mouldings and your own logo in the handle, made to order. One for the car, or enough of them for a rental counter, a ski club or everyone on the payroll.

Five Ski Scrapers standing in a row, each moulded in a different marbled plastic — teal, violet, orange, green and red — with the same customer's mountain badge printed on every handle.

Questions.

Anything not answered here, mail us. A human replies, and they drop the theatrics.

Buy a Ski Scraper
Will it scratch my windscreen?
No. The edge is a softer polymer than automotive glass, which is why it wears and the glass does not — that is the trade every scraper makes, and ours is the one where the wearing part unclips. Grit is what scratches glass, on any scraper. Brush the loose snow off first.
It looks like a ski. Is it actually a ski?
It is an ice scraper shaped like a ski, at roughly a fifth of the length. Do not attempt to descend anything on it.
How long is it?
320 mm end to end, 88 mm across the blade. Long enough to reach the middle of a windscreen from the driver's door, short enough to live in the door pocket rather than the boot.
What happens when the edge wears down?
You unclip it and clip on a new one. The handle is the part you paid for and the part that lasts; the edge is a consumable, priced like one. Replacement edges ship in packs of five, which is about ten winters.
Does it work on a frozen-solid windscreen, or only on snow?
Both. Snow comes off with the wide face. Hard ice wants the corner and short strokes — the same technique any scraper needs, done with a handle that will not snap while you are doing it.
Why does it cost more than the one at the petrol station?
Because you are buying it once. The petrol-station scraper is engineered to a price and lasts a season or two; this is a moulded tool with a replaceable edge and no planned exit. Over ten winters it is the cheaper object.
Do you actually hate ordinary ice scrapers?
We hate that they are designed to be replaced. Cheap is not the problem. Disposable is.
Where is it made?
Moulded in Europe, close enough to ship overland. The full supply chain goes on this site when the second production run lands and we can say something more useful than a country name.
I backed the Kickstarter. Do I need to order again?
No. Backer rewards ship on the campaign's own schedule and you do not need to do anything here. If a backer order has gone quiet, mail us and a human will find it.
