The snow shovel of the present invention10comprises a latitudinal curved blade12with opposing end terminus arcs40, 42of differing degrees whereby shoveled material will move from one side of the blade to the other. On the back side of the blade12are longitudinal and latitudinal ribs24forming an integral part therewith providing reinforcement terminating in a centrally disposed receptacle for a handle mounting plate30. The handle mounting plate30has mating apertures34for fixedly fastening the mounting plate to the curved blade12. Positioned at the apex of the handle plate30is a post46for press fitting the handle plate to the shaft. The handle grip member18also has a post44that is inserted into the opposing end of the handle shaft20.
