A shiny knife, no matter how good, is un-tactical

I have this great little bowie knife. It's made out of AUS-8A stainless steel and it stays inside a Kydex sheath. The knife is probably never going to rust out on me unless I drop it into the ocean, and the sheath is virtually indestructable. It even has a pouch on the front containing a diamond wetstone, so that I can keep it sharp no matter where I go. The only problem, as far as I can see, is that the knife is simply too damned SHINY, it shines like a mirror, and that is simply BAD NEWS as far as I'm concerned.
I was thinking about treating the knife with primer and then coating it with some kind of weatherproof paint, but then I quickly gave up on that idea.
Does anyone have an idea on how to turn a shiny knife into a dull knife without ruining the temper of the steel ? LW.
