How would you get rid of scratches on CTS-XHP?

Superficial scratching (almost scuffing, not deep) on the blade. Would like to get rid of them prior to selling. Tried a metal polish (very fine) but that didn't do anything... Suggestions?
 
Fine scratches are coarser than one may think. I would suspect that it would take light sanding @ 600-1000 grit to remove "light scratches". Unfortunately this is going to affect the finish of the blade.

Thanks. Yes, the blade is stonewashed so it should be able to be stonewashed again relatively easily (or not?)
 
You would need to find some qualified to do so... As in, a knife maker or the maker of the knife to refinish the blade. I wouldn't trust it to just anyone.
