Re-finishing damaged micarta scales on Fox Cutlery Diablo

[vanadium]

Hey y'all, I have a Lone Wolf "Diablo" that has a bunch of pitting damage to the brown micarta. Somehow the knife got tossed into a toolbox, and one day of banging around made it look like this (image). I've searched these forums about re-finishing micarta, and it seems like it would be best done by someone with experience. Would anyone care to take this on as a job, or offer any suggestions? I love this knife, and Benchmade didn't carry this version forward, so I'd really like to make it pretty again. I'm in NY. Thanks all

Just use a single cut file, and file the dings out. Then use 320, 400, 600, 1000 grit wet/dry sandpaper to smooth it out. Then wax.
