June 2025:  Thank you for coming the TMD MARKETPLACE.  We’re finally getting this portion of the site fully up-and-running, so please bear with us as we work out the kinks…

The process of shutting down the TMD Shop is complete.  With Ted’s passing in 2012, and Betty’s in 2024, we paid the appropriate homage, sold or donated all of the equipment, tools, etc., (mostly to the Pacific Northwest knife-making community  ), and sold the property  .

In addition to the upcoming offering of some special TMD memorabilia that was found during the clean-out process, we’re hoping that the TMD MARKETPLACE will become your #1 place to buy, sell, consign or trade (only) TMD Knives.

There will be a broad spectrum of TMD’s available, from basic Utility knives to high-end Art knives, to a new category we’ve created called “The Certified Series”, which will be comprised of highly unique or one-of-a-kind TMD’s, complete with the history behind the knife, and a notarized authenticity certificate signed by Betty Dowell.  Most of the initial knives in TMD MARKETPLACE will be from my personal collection of over 125 knives that were procured over the past 40 years.  We’ll be starting out with about 20 knives, and will add more on a monthly basis, so check back regularly for new stuff! 

Hopefully, over time, lots of additional TMD’s from owners and collectors worldwide will find their way to the TMD MARKETPLACE, so, if you, or someone you know, has any TMD’s they’d like to buy, sell or trade, please have them contact me at the email or phone number below.

Long term, we’ve set this site up to be operational and relevant well into the coming decades, so please join me in helping to make its launch a successful one!

If you have any suggestions to make the MARKETPLACE better, please feel free to email me at jeff@tmdknives.com or call me at: 503-701-0581         

Thank You…Jeff Dowell, Bend OR
