No there is no blue tint. I was just worried the grinding may have softened the steel. Think I'm good to go?

You should be good. If they had the right tool they wouldn't have overheated them.

Just make sure if you do reharden, just do the cutting edge not the whole blade. Hardened steel is brittle and you don't want the blades to break off and become projectiles.
