>>What's slightly unclear and not been answered is what happen
>>to the DH's that were produced.

Exactly. They were either culled out or wholesaled as 'pet shop' boas.. we've heard both versions on this forum, not sure which is correct or if either of those are correct.

*As far as I know* there has not been a boa produced that is both homogeneous kahl and homogeneous sharp.

Sharp strains tend to be more expensive at this time as they have not been around as long as Kahl strain and the sharp strains are typically more colorful. (Selective breeding of the Kahl strain has improved those boas colors and as with any boa there is a wide varience in coloration.) Sharp strain, as was already mentioned, also combine with the boa woman carmel to produce paradimes, parahets, etc.

I won't get into the ethics of doing the breeding of sharpxkahl itself.
