If it is a user knife, I think most of us would say just apply some light oil or other protection, and keep using it.

If it is safe queen, sorry to say it for a couple of reasons, the only way to restore a factory finish is to have the shop do it.

Re-do's probably are a hassle for them as it is for the custom makers I have dealt with, but they are considerate about doing it.
