I have a brand new set of Wusthof Grand Prix knives. Despite previous
care discussions, Hubby grabbed the scouring pad (on the back of a
sponge) and cleaned the heck out of my Santoku. I know it's just a
knife, but I only used it twice and it looks like a 15 year old pieces
of garbage to me.

Can anyone recommend any methods/products for removing these fine
abrasion scratches from the side of the blade? Some sort of paste,
etc to buff it out?
About the only thing I have on hand that might be a possibility is Bar
Keepers Friend. I have no idea if this would be appropriate or what I
can use to spruce this knife up. Ideas?

Thanks!

As long as it he didn't damage the edge, what's the difference? Sure, he
"damaged" it cosmetically, but it is still a good, usable knife. Let him
now (nicely) that he did wrong by you and maybe he'll make it up on
Valentine's Day.

Did you buy the knife to cut with or to look at? But you might try Bar
Keeper's friend scouring powder. I doubt it will get back the original
finish but it will liely improve it a lot.

Buffing wheel with jeweler's rouge.

Just be careful, you are thinking of buffing a sharp knife.
