  1. primitive ray with sharp teeth on each edge of a long flattened snout
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Sawfish \Saw"fish`\, n. (Zo[94]l.)
      Any one of several species of elasmobranch fishes of the
      genus {Pristis}. They have a sharklike form, but are more
      nearly allied to the rays. The flattened and much elongated
      snout has a row of stout toothlike structures inserted along
      each edge, forming a sawlike organ with which it mutilates or
      kills its prey.
