This is a very very broad question, Harish. So please start by describing what mechanical or chemical finishing you presently employ, and what finish it gives you that is neither shiny not matte. Thanks.

Dear Sir
I suggest electropolishing for your cutleries that is what we are doing.

Use chromium oxide for final polish(or very fine corundum dust). Second option is electropolishing. Good luck!
