"opinion pole: the metal on this except the blade, is silver. it has an even tarnish on it now. would you polish it lightly with never dull, or leave it alone. at the moment im on the fence leaning toward a light polish to bring up the silver shine.

I'm from the school of do what feels right. If it were my knife I'd polish it to a bright finish. It looks like the knife was well taken care of. It was used and enjoyed. Clean it up, I like SimiChrome Metal Polish.
