I believe sanding will be more than tedious and some dedicated tools would fare much better. If you can find a metal file of suitable diameter and bend it, that should help to even out and deepen the fullers; that would certainly help to make this kris more attractive.

Yes one could; but then you would be altering the blade to something other than the way it was originally made.
I sent a very nice kris off to someone for etching and for some reason they changed the tip to an acute point from its original semi rounded configuration.
I wasn't at all happy about that.
