I have refurbished a few old knives that needed repair. I recently did. Japanese Nata. The thread is recent with pictures. If you look at it, you'll see that you can find a happy medium. Clean up the blade without removing it's character. Leave some of the pits and dings. A new handle and fittings, perhaps a sheath. Let it keep it's history, but make it interesting and usable.
