How is this finish achieved? Looks like the edges of the heat blades have been sanded down to bare metal, presumably after the rest has been powder coated black?

I think you're spot on there

There's been some time, effort and money thrown at that one...

Correct as above but you would need to lacquer (heatproof) the bare metal parts or they would corrode if you don't keep polishing them.
