Has anybody ever cold blued a differentially hardened blade? I'm wondering if the hamon is still visible through the blueing.It might be a cool expiriment to see if it would create sort of a "tactical" look that doesn't reflect so much.

I have not, but my assumption is that bluing will obscure a significant amount of any visible transition.
Edit: I say this as someone who has messed around a lot with both hot and cold bluing. I certainly don't consider myself an expert. Chemical bluing necessarily obfuscate the details of a blade's polish, and you cannot re-polish a given blade without removing the bluing.
