Hunting Knife Restoration Tips Sought

Hello everyone, can someone recommend a guide to restoring old hunting knives and similar blades? I just got 2 Solingen knives, not ancient, but they could use some help. They are stag handled, with modern slotted brass/aluminum pommels. There is a touch of corrosion, and the horn and/or bakelite spacers are all cattywampus. The interwebz contain healthy advice like, "saw the tang off and then use a power wheel to buff any corrosion off the blades". I think I need a gentler touch, what do you say?
