Thread: Ever Seen One From Houston, TX.?

I got this one a long time ago for real cheap, like $4.99 or something, give or take a buck. It is a very interesting piece because it says H. Wolfer, Houston, Tex. I grew up here in Houston so when I saw it, I knew I had never seen another one like it so I grabbed it since it was very cheaply priced. The toe of the blade is just slightly bent, hardly visible but I can feel it if I run my fingers down the blade so I don't think I'll be honing it up unless I could think of a way o do so w/o adding wear to the toe on one side plus the opposite side will not hone properly either. I think I will just put it aside for now for collector purposes. It says "Germany" on the tang in very small print so it is of good quality. I Googled H.Wolfer, Houston, TX & there was a store called Wolfer Brothers Inc. & might still be in operation since it's owner just died last December at 86 but the place sold Crosman Air rifles too so it might be a sporting goods store of some sort if it is the same firm. I pulled up this mans obituary, Harvey Wolfer & he's buried in the same place as my dad. I also pulled up another obituary for an Ernest Richard Wolfer & he was a co-owner of Wolfer Brothers Inc. & it says that he was an avid outdoorsman. It's too nice a razor to not hone & shave with!
