I have a Dukoff D8, it's about 2 years old. It has become quite dull and dark. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use brasso for silver to shine it up again? If not any ideas to restore it?

If it's the standard unplated 'Silverite' you can clean it with metal polish. Silver polish probably won't be beefy enough.
It's a bit of a pointless exercise though, as it won't be long before it looks all dull again.

Stay away from the tip and rails though.

Regards,

Cool thanks. I'm planning on selling it so I want it looking nice

Plain toothpaste will work just fine. Not the Gel type,,,the cheapee kind. Use an old towel and rubb away!!

I'll give the toothpaste a whirl when I get home from work

I would recommend against cleaning off the dark gray surface layer of oxidation on older Silverite Dukoffs. This layer is harder than the underlying material and offers a layer of protection against small dinks and ligature scuffs. It is not so hard as to protect the tip from a drop on a hard floor. But it does help a little.
