if sanding horizontal at 400 you still see vertical scratches.... then you still have 220 or 320 scratches. alternating direction between grits is a good way to make sure you get all the scratches from the previous, before moving up to the next.
a lot of makers use scotchbrite pads to apply a satin finish.take your handle and guart up as high as you want the handle to be finished to. then tape up the places you dont want to be satin finish. apply the scotch brite and.... ta-da.
hope this is somewhat useful.
