Hi,

I love using my bark rivers for wood craft and fire prep. They get all scratched up looking, though.

Is there an easy way for a newbie like me to take out some scratches? I would love a stonewashed or satin finish…

Try some flitz metal polish that may get the light ones out. WD40 and 0000 steel wool might also help.
 
Update - I tried 0000 steel wool with WD40 and had very slow progress.

On a whim I used some 1000 grit wet/dry with sandpaper and it was perfect for my 3V and VG10 blades. YMMV but just to share what worked for me.
