Best way to 'dull' a hi-polish blade?

[VictorLouis]

I know, a blast tank, LOL. But, I'm talking about a traditional Case type knife. Can't be disassembled, and I don't want any bead residue grinding in the works.

How about Scotchbrite pads? Would that take it down to a more subdued, satin finish?
Or would I be better off with some sort of fabric-backed sanding paper/emory cloth?

Thanks.

I have found that the green Scotchbrite pads put a nice finish on the blade. Rub lightly.
