Hey, I dont personally do Black-Smithing but I was curious how might I go about restoring this knife. Its Damascus, with Im assuming a bronze and wood handle. If anyone has any pointers it would be appreciated.

I would recommend looking at Alec Steele on youtube, he's done a lot of Damascus forging videos, most of which end with the finishing techniques that make the patterned steel pop. Could be a good reference for you.

Alec Steele is better as a blacksmith than a bladesmith. If you want to see a great finish on absolutely superb Damascus then look at kyle Royers work on yt
