HI!
I would suggest that you just leave it as it is. I find that I cherish old knives that have seen some use far more than a mint one. You no doubt have some history associate with the knife and it brings back fond memories. Go out a buy a new one and store the old one for your future generations to admire. You have a nice piece that deserves respect, not replacement. Just my thoughts from a collector of 30 years plus.
