I would not strip it. I would go over the metal with Oxpho blue (cream) from Brownells and 0000 steel wool. Follow the directions repeat about 5 or 6 times. Then wipe it down with RIG. It will look great and you won't kill the spoon by stripping it white. However it looks pretty damn good in the photos. If you are doing the wood, just dull it with 0000 wool and hand rub a few coats of tru oil on it. Stripping is really a radical fix if you don't need to do it. Don't EVEN pick up a piece of sand paper!
