Thanks guys!
The finish is a layered finish with different grits overlapping and running at different angles, and different planes are finished to different grits and angles. It's then etched and polished over the top with finishing pads, powders and polishing compounds. It's something I've been experimenting with for a while now. It does some cool stuff with the reflection of light off the surface. It creates sort of primitive "diffraction gratings", which also work in conjunction with the different microstructures created by the quench line and on either side of it.
