I Have Streaks I Guess You Would Call Them On My 102. I Use It For Deer Hunting And I Think Its From Bone. I Guess What I'm Asking Is, Do I Just Need To Find A Good Polish. I'm Almost Certain That These Scrape Marks Are From What I Mentioned. Do Any Of You Recomend A Certain Polish? Appreciate Any Advice.

SORRY TRAX. SHOULD HAVE SPECIFIED. ON THE BLADE.
Hello.
I use Solvol Autosol metal polish from a tube if its a polished finish on the blade currently.
Cosmetic marks can be removed swiftly & also minor surface corrosion that can even show itself even on high vanadium content blades if moving from outdoor to indoor environment....yes we all know it but we tend to learn it from experience.
If the blade is a Matt brushed finish with a courser surface finish, I adopt a technique used for stainless watch braclets.
Dependant on the courseness and direction of brush, I pin the knife to a board using tacks with rubber washers underneath so securing the handle.
Using an appropriate grade of schotchbrite pad brush in the existing brush direction in smooth straight strokes.
It worked for me on knife & watch bracelet alike.
Cheers
