NICE! I think I have one with the 2 bicycles BUT they are facing the other way. I'll have to go check. Nice find

That Celebrated Extra Hollow is one sweet blade, and that one will clean up really nice. I scored one not long ago, looked like yours. This is after a cleaning, honing, and some new scales.

Both of those look like they will clean up great. I think just some polishing compound on the bicycle razor should do the trick and you won't lose any etching. Good luck!

AS a somewhat serious, sometimes competitive cyclist, I'd dearly love to run across a blade like that.
It'd be great if it could be made to shave, but I could make it into a display piece otherwise. Dang, who knew?
All you brethren of the blade please remember me in your travels and collecting! I have some trade fodder too.
thanks for sharing.
(hope you don't mind i borrowed your pic to enlist my pals to help me find similar.)Last edited by WadePatton; 02-23-2014 at 03:02 PM.
