Where can I get a blade refinished?

I'm running to grab sandpaper soon, I unfortunately don't have a dremel or belt sander. I was thinking I should go 80-120-800-1000 grits. Any better suggestions?

It's better to do it by hand anyways. Using power tools produces a lot of heat, and if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you can easily ruin the heat treat on the steel.

IMHO, it is not true that one easily ruin the heat treat. Jerry has stated that INFI has to reach 900F before the temper is affected. A lot of us here have used belt sanders to clean up or mod their blades. I can think of only one case where a Busse knife was overheated and damaged. IIRC, Jerry replaced it anyway.

Thanks for correcting me. I didn't realize infi could get up that high before you ruin the heat treat. Appreciate the info.
