Quality vs Quantity, Compare Our Bear Traps to any Other Bear Traps Made

Each and every trap made involves countless hours of work to ensure a final product that will draw attention to your business and venue. Our extremely rare traps are displayed in upscale lodges, restaurants, stores, museums, and in the homes of serious collectors. Since these Sawtooth bear traps are limited to such a small production run, they are highly collectable, and tend to increase in value. Our strict attention to detail in craftsmanship, design, and quality, will attract customers to view your unique display for years to come.

Some competitor's have their traps made overseas and are really just an importer to their traps. Sawtooth Bear Traps are made entirely in Idaho (USA) and are made in a very limited production run that will increase in value with time.

History of the Bear Trap in North America

Bear traps have played a huge role in North America since the 1800's. Bears were trapped in North America for food, hides, and to protect homesteads, livestock, etc. While these traps are no longer used to trap bears, they are highly collectable today. The largest functional bear trap produced was the Sawtooth #9 bear trap. It weighs in excess of 800 pounds and has an overall dimension of over nine feet. For a long time the largest commercially produced bear trap was the #6 grizzly bear trap, (S. Newhouse # 6) approximately 44" long and 45 pounds. Today you might see a bear trap on display in a lodge, fine restaurant or bar, a sporting goods store, or in a museum. These traps are not common in displays, and tend to attract quite a bit of attention. Sawtooth Trap Company was formed in 2010 and makes quality limited edition bear traps for display in that unique special setting. Sawtooth Trap Company makes the largest and strongest bear traps in the world.

The Sawtooth #7 is a smaller version of the Sawtooth #8. A very limited run of Sawtooth #8 bear traps sold out in 2016; and are no longer produced. Sawtooth #7 bear traps are 53" long and weigh 70 pounds with the standard chain and ring. If ordered with the optional long chain and drag they weigh 80 pounds. Each trap has exceptional strength in the springs, chain, and jaws. The three prong drag and cold shut are options that add to the asthetic appeal of the trap.

Only 50 steel models will be made, a total of 5 made with bronze pans, jaws, swivel, and ring, and 15 made with brass jaws, pan, swivel and ring. Currently we have sold over 80 percent of this limited edition production run. Order yours today while they are still available.
