White Hunter restoration and sharpening referrals

[Clan Gunn]

Have a Puma White Hunter that has been roughly sharpened and scratched. Any suggestion regarding where to have some restoration done? Thoughts if I should even go this route or just use and enjoy the knife. I bought it for my Dad so it has value for me and I do like the knife.

Thanks

It's hard to remove deep scratches. Basically start with a rough grit sandpaper, always sand the length of the blade, use a block for the flats, and move up in grit until you get the polish you want.

Pumas, if really old, may be worth more w/o restoration. If you plan on using it, I'd just use some Flitz for the surface patina then sharpen and go

Not trying to be rude, but there are more forums aside from general Knife discussion.

The Puma White Hunter knives have industrial hard chrome plated blades. There is nothing you can do to remove scratches without removing the plating-which is very difficult to do.
It's best to leave the knife alone.
