"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Exceptional Quality and Service at Trapper Jon’s Knives Store!** I recently visited Trapper Jon’s Knives Store, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best knife shops I’ve ever experienced. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the wide selection of high-quality knives, ranging from everyday carry knives to specialty outdoor and hunting blades. Whether you’re a collector, an outdoor enthusiast, or just someone looking for a..."

J Centavo

"My experience with gun stores and knife stores is that most are rude and didn't care to chat. Not so here, he didn't mind my son and i looking, offered to show us anything we wanted to see and didn't rush is. Very friendly. He carries spyderco, Benchmade, microtech, reate, case and a bunch of other knife brands you'd wanna see. His prices unlike many knife stores I've seen are spot on. Support your local knife store and buy from this guy. It's ha..."

"Whether you use a knife professionally, carry one for utility or self defense, are a martial artist, need a new knife for yourself or as a gift, or even need your old reliable blade professionally sharpened, Trapper Jon’s Knives is the place to go. Been a customer for years at their AZ location, the TX location continues their tradition of excellence with friendly, knowledgable staff, and an assortment of blades and accessories for essentially a..."

Ricardo Puentes

"Walked in was acknowledged as soon as I walked in very friendly people in there Carlos the new owner. Did not hesitate to show me any knife that I asked.

Also bought my wife a set of kitchen knives. Highly recommend to check this place out."

"Fantastic place. I went in, asked for a style of knife I was interested in (Sujihiki), was asked a few clarifying questions, then was given several options. I was allowed to handle/inspect all of them, staff was very knowledgeable about the differences and stories of each one, and there was ZERO PRESSURE from the staff. They happily answered all of my questions, didn't try to "steer" me towards any of them. After selecting the one I wanted, I ..."

Pea Bee

"I have been knife obsessed since I was a child and have an extensive collection of chef and pocket knives, which is probably why I told myself to not stop in! I kick myself for not stopping in much sooner. Their inventory is wild: there are cutlery options and accessories for all uses and budgets. Domenica is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain the metallurgical properties of the knives, scissors, shears, and clippers they o..."

Anon Omous (Cosine612)

"I visited yesterday to get a few knives sharpened, including two serrated Wustofs. One was 40+ years old and it had never been sharpened. All three knives I swear could now cut through solid granite! I know of no other sharpener of this caliber in San Antonio and I will certainly visit them again soon. Oh, and I bought a knife. A boning knife. I needed it. These folks really know the business. I watched Domenica "fit" a customer for a ch..."

La Stupenda

"Absolutely the best customer service. Domenica was so patient in helping us select just the right knife. This was my first time in looking for a knife and she took the time to find out what we were looking for, explain everything about the knives, show us tons of options, and letting us really get a feel for them. She helped us find a great knife, and gave us a great deal on top of that! Definitely got some return customers. I would give ten star..."

"I submitted an online request and the next day Justin responded and said he could come to my office to sharpen my knives. It was wonderfully convenient as it allowed me to continue my work without interruption. The tool and process was quite enough for an office building and wasn’t disruptive to anybody. I only had 7 or 8 knives to sharpen so he was finished in about 30 minutes. Reasonable prices and great service - will use again!"

Mary A Bengel

"I groom my own, groom and show my mini poodles. I was never more pleased with the sevice and custom shapening of my scissors and one old dematting tool that most blade and scissor people not only have seen but would not TOUCH! But not Justin.. Who did a fastastic job with dematting tool but my OLD every day work scissors. PRICE VERY REASONABLE TOO. THANK YOU AGAIN. MR.KNIFE GUY Mary"

Cindy R

"So convenient and easy to set up a time for Justin to come sharpen all our knives. Nice guy; great service. Highly recommended!"

Michael C

"The knife guy is awesome! It’s been a while since I’ve needed knife sharpening. This guy is Best! Good prices. All knives are extremely sharp now. I will continue to use The Knife Guy for sharpening needs. I highly recommend The Knife Guy!"

"On recommendation of his fellow chefs, my husband and I went here with the goal of purchasing a food sealing system. The woman working couldn’t be bothered to give us the time of day. Flashy knives for those who choose form over function, and maybe a good place to run in for a replacement part on a grinder in a pinch, but certainly not worth the trip for us."

Nathan Rice

"I've purchased two Japanese knives online from here and had no problem whatsoever. Great selection of beautiful knives. I was excited to finally make it to the store. I had my eye on a couple of sujihiki knives available on the website and was looking forward to holding them before deciding on a purchase. I was told that the knife I was looking at wasn't available at that location (?) despite being on the website. I ended up buying a very ni..."

Leo T. Storniolo

"I cannot say enough great things about Phil and his service. He was able to find me multiple knives in a price range that worked for me with custom handles that met my needs. He didn’t try to upsell me and even helped get me into better steels within my price range. Can’t wait to try and visit the next time I am in San Antonio."

Rick Georgette

"I went to buy a knife and to my surprise it knocked 30% off at checkout. I contacted the company and they told me that that brand was on sale. Further, they said I could have any knife I wanted if I placed the order in the next hour. It was exciting, stressful and a whole lot of fun, but I met the challenge and bought 12 more knives. I can't thank this company enough for giving me this amazing opportunity, I am now a customer for life!"

"I recently visited a Williams Sonoma that specializes in premium-quality goods for the kitchen and table, and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with their selection and quality of products. From the moment I walked into the store, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The store was well-lit and beautifully laid out, making it easy to browse the vast selection of products. What impressed me the most about this store was the qual..."

"I am not sure what the issue is with this store and their customer service but my experiences have not been the best all the time. I recently went to the store to return an item I purchased on line. The first thing the lady that assisting me said was “ this is a Pottery Barn item”. I said no I purchased it from William & Sonoma, I also returned it in the same bag it came in with the WS address on the label. Once we got that settled that it ..."

Joshua Valdez

"Worst customer service! I was waiting for over 10 min to see an expresso machine and was ignored, so I test a machine I was interested in (which I have 3 at home of similar kind) and a female employee then comes to yell at me at the top of her lungs disrespectfully and retreats while I was holding my baby in my arms with my kids watching at a distance. There was no need for this level of disrespect. She also told me I was not going to buy anythin..."

Corina Quinonez

"My son went in because William Sanoma sent us the wrong item, a cheaper item than what we purchased online. When I called customer service they were unable to assist immediately and we had to go into the store to resolve the issue, defeating the purpose of shopping online for convenience. Instead of simply swapping out our machine, they made my son pay for it AGAIN, almost a thousand dollars. I'll get my refund in a few days. That is a TE..."
