I've seen Solingen full hollows with the top of the spine and maybe the tang blued. Come to think of it , I've seen USA razors with the same treatment. I've never seen a Sheffield or any other factory blade fully blued. Doesn't mean that they didn't do it at some time or another. They made a heck of a lot of razors and I haven't seen them all. I was trying to get them all but gave up on it.
