All I do is gently rub the blank lengthwise with extra fine steel wool to get the semi-gloss or satin finish I want.
Works great.

I remember seeing on the IAP where Johnathon Brooks was using a butane flame to take the shine off a CA finish. It looked good.

I use exactly the same method as super glossy CA finish (sand to 600 grit, put on multiple coats of thin CA, polish with micro-mesh).
The only difference is I stop after the first couple of grades of micro mesh. Still has a great quality finish, but more satin and subdued than a super high gloss.
