Help Needed

I have an expensive custom knife that got some surface scratching from rolling around in a sock drawer.....anyone have a good method of getting rid of them without ruining the value of the knife?? THANKS!

Is it a mirror finish?

Pics would probably help.
You may also get more traction in “maintenance, tinkering...” forum

Well it’s either mirror finished or hand sanded to see the scratches, pastes will leave a dullness behind so that’s out...
How are you at hand sanding or using a belt?
Unless you’re prepared to send it out for refinishing might just want go live with it...
If you’re preparing to sell it, reacquaint yourself with the makers resell values for a final determination .

I am basically an idiot at fixing or repairing anything so I don’t want to screw this up. A friend told me to get metal polish at an auto parts store... any thoughts on using that?
