How can I remove the shine and luster for my new forceps? I think the chrome finish is too shiny. I try to wear dark and/or plain colored clothing when I am on the stream fishing.
Thanks for any input.

Crocus cloth should dull them up nicely. It's a roll abrasive, sometimes comes in sheets. It has a cloth backing and very fine abrasive on the face. It is used for sanding metal prior to polishing or plating. A green Scotchbrite pad might do it, but I don't think so.

Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some person ever reads.
0 or 00 Steel wool or fine grit sandpaperl.
The make a holder for forceps that conceal them I believe. Clip them inside your vest.

All the above and also emery cloth that you use for sanding copper pipe before sweating them together..Available at any h-ware store.
Buy a pair that's black, not chromed. Most places that sell them sell black ones.

It Just Doesn't Matter....
put them in a pocket
I've spray painted stuff like this with good luck --using flat brown or green camou paint.
Don't worry, you will lose them soon anyway *S*. Black ones are readily available, but bear in mind if they are not shiny or some bright color, and you drop them somewhere, you will never ever find them again. I have lost many hemos, and found many hemos, throughout the years.
If $ is a problem, contact anyone who works in a hospital. They are supposed to dispose of them after use, but a sterilization and recycling as a fishing tool makes more sense to me.
Spray paint
Good fishing technique trumps all.....wish I had it.
You could try heating them with a torch... It knocks the shine off of beads when you do that. Sometimes you need a stealthier fly too.
