Just finished this one up in a frontier Bowie style.  The damascus includes a vintage Newhouse trap spring, canned and clad over a random core.  The guard is from the same billet.  The jaws are coyote, and the wood is 1912 bodark. The copper trap tag is from 1941.  I wanted the shape to at least echo the Green River style of the period.  Since I already had coyote parts involved, I used a coyote face on the sheath as well.
