How to best finish the Damascus blade

Recently received this nice blade to make as a gift.

It seems to be a little rough on the final finish (dye to bring out pattern?). I ran the handle end through lacquer thinner and a buffer and the blade turns nice with the pattern still showing.

How would you recommend I deal with the black color, which comes off with lacquer thinner? My inkling is to remove as much black a possible and sand to a high polish. Thoughts?

Thanks!
