Need some advice on a Mark 1

Shew! That's gona require a lot of material removal to clean out all those pits. Were it me, it would come down to old fashion hand sanding. Starting with 180 or 220, and a lot of elbow grease until all the pits are gone, then progress down in grit sizes until you get the finish you're after.

I've been down similar roads before...somebody brought a knife they wanted "refinished". The first couple I quoted/did, I lost my behind on. I finally went to a model where any knife repair is charged at an hourly rate of $65, with a one hour minimum. That tends to discourage most, and those that it doesn't, are the ones who understand how much time and effort goes into a "refinish" job.
