I have a friend who prefers satin finish pens. I've made him a couple that I dulled with steel wool, that he was very happy with. I decided to make the ultimate not shiny pen for him. It was a fun experiment, but didn't turn out as I had envisioned. I didn't polish it at all, just dry sanded it with 100 grit. I also tried sanding the chrome parts with 220. The clip looks pretty good, the front of it looks like a satin finish. But the rest of the parts were too hard to sand. Oh well, I had fun with it.
