    Default Restoring Patina

    I'm about to start work on this old Wade & Butcher. Its a little rough around the edges with a nice patina. I like the way it looks, the patina suits the blade, and I plan on scaling it in horn.
    There are however a few scratches on the blade that bug me and I want to get rid of them. Obviously if I remove the scratches I'll remove the patina in those areas. Do any of you veteran restorers have an opinion on how to restore patina after sanding, A light blueing? or the vinegar method?
    I just dont think this blade would suite being all nice and shiney
    Thanks.
