Need an advice... Shall I do something about this tarnish brass or just leave it as it is...
I am about to leave it as it is but should really appreciate your opinions about it...

NEVR-DULL

Any of the above followed by a layer of renwax/carwax to maintain the shine (in a display)

Personal choice - some knives have a nice patina - gives the knives a different (rugged/tough ?) look. Unless the brass or blade is being damaged, I say personal choice.

Thank you so very much for your help! I really appreciate it!

Looking at my pictures... Should you just leave it alone or...

FWIW, since it's "spotty" rather than a consistent patina, if it was mine I would polish it.

id clean/polish it with flitz and then let it patina/brown again evenly....if it were mine.

Exactly!

That seems to be the way to go! Again, thank you very much for your opinions. I really appreciate it.

Agree with others. Because it is "spotty" I would polish it. I use Brasso. Works fine by hand and rag. Faster if you have a dremel with polishing attachment, or benchtop polisher/grinder.

If it is impossible to wait and you do not have Flitz at home... Toothpaste is a quick fix... Took 10 seconds... Problem solved!
Thank you, Gentlemen!
