Knife Sharpening

Maintaining a good sharp edge on your cutting tools helps them to work better and safer than a dull, rough, or chipped cutting edge. We utilize a commercial-grade water-cooled sharpening system to provide your blade with like-new sharpness while minimizing the material removal and reducing the heat generation that could otherwise weaken the tool.  We simply charge $7 for a 5-inch blade or smaller and $10 for a larger blade up to 12 inches. If you are searching for experienced knife sharpening in the San Antonio, TX region, end your search with Buck & Doe’s Mercantile. Stop in today for detailed and efficient service!

A Few Words from Our Clients

The veteran staff here are exceptional in sharing their knowledge and experience. Everyone is helpful and friendly. Got my Staccato here and a Benchmade gold series knife 1/2 off. Glad to support local business!

Joseph Hernandez

This is the place to go for all your firearm needs. Friendly and knowledgeable staff that always answers all of your questions. Buck and Does has consistently earned our business and will do for years to come. Ron gave my wife and I a great lesson by teaching us solid safety and accuracy fundamentals. Highly recommend for anyone new to guns and wants to learn the basics. Even took the time to prep us for our license to carry class. Give them a try! Five enthusiastic stars for first class service.

Joe Saenz

Buck & Does are amazing, I brought the wife in to learn how to shoot and Paul, the highly trained instructor was great, he treated her with the greatest of respect and he helped her with all aspects of shooting including safety. What a great experience and great place.

Eric

I honestly have to say this place is hands down the best! I completed my proficiency test for my LTC with Mr.Ron Benton. Very clear instruction and really professional. I was a bit nervous at first but once he explained the qualification and gave clear instructions, I was completely comfortable and confident. I highly recommend this place, they have a bit of everything! A good section to distract the wife while I drool over the selection of goodie’s for myself. My family will definitely be back! They have a good selection of rentals and not to mention the range! It’s very clean and well maintained! Thank you for the great service!

Victor Bowie

My daughter had a lesson with Ron last week. We had been to the range before for practice, but having a lesson with Ron far surpassed our expectations. He was engaged, patient, and made the entire hour super fun for her, challenging her in creative ways we never thought of. Worth every penny!

Tiffany Rea

My wife had a private shooting lesson recently with instructor Don Benton. His professionalism, safety and expertise with firearms is exactly what we were looking for and needed. We will definitely schedule follow up lessons with him.

Ed Bryan

An incredible place, super friendly, trained and attentive employees, clean and super comfortable place, they deserve 6 stars

Carlos Torres

While packing my rifle for a trip to Africa I noticed that the safety was inoperable. I took it to Buck and Does just days before leaving. The outstanding performance of manager Roman and the gunsmith repaired my rifle and returned it to me in record time allowing me to take it with me. Their customer service is outstanding!

Ernie Welker

My first visit to Buck & Does Mercantile was to complete my LTC-101 range proficiency. I found the instructor (Mr. Ron Benton) to be highly knowledgable, friendly, and professional. I definitely will be returning to Buck & Doe’s in the future for all of my firearm needs.

Scott Quint

I almost took a star off for price but truth is, you get what you pay for. I’ve used them for ffls and nfa transfers, and i bought a membership and have used the range several times. Staff is super friendly.
