We may have to work around the price point, $2400USD, may be a little high for a squirrel tooth handle. I think this might be because of the "World Wide" demand for "Squirrel Teeth". I think GEC can find a way to help us out on this.....lol
Egads Woman!! You have solved out Squirrel teeth dilemma. We will compile the little buggers teeth and....dare I say it....yes I will....a Squirrel Teeth Chip Resin. Good work Jan. LOL! I never thought to ask about mammoth teeth scales. Thanks for the 411!

An example of mammoth teeth chip resin. Cost $2,400 USD
Well Pro-Tech makes knives with Mastodon teeth so why not squirrel teeth. It would only take about 40 or so squirrels. LOL!
LOL, get some prime teeth. We can always have it set in an acrylic to make the handles. After that I want one in Beaverteeth please LOL
Well Miss Jan, whats the word from up north? Do we need some squirrel teeth?..lol
Tom, musk ox is really great stuff. Treeman knives makes more knives with it than any other knife makers I have seen. I heard that Randall knives only makes two a year with it. Oh, you are right it might take quite a few squirrel teeth to make one knife.lol
Robert, I can't wait to see your knife idea come to fruition! May have to do a mosaic of squirrel teeth/ivory to pull off a full handle set. That's a lot of squirrels! Hats off to you for taking one for the team with your willingness to come out of retirement for this project. I am waiting for the musk ox handles myself! I recently saw a Randall Made Knife with a Narwhal horn handle and that was pretty unique. Don't know where folks collect this stuff?
I want to be the first one to order a GEC with squirrel tooth ivory. Serial number two [number one is kept at the factory], I would be glad to go after them critters for the teeth to make knife handles. What a job, I'm retired but I am willing to go back to work for this special cause.
