Blued steel may not be the best thing for food service and some coatings contain heavy metals, teflon ect...but I don't think it is a real concern for the average adult use...

The small amounts of questionable materials contained in the coating don't leach out, as far as I know...

The coating I use is based on the resin used to coat soup cans, amoung other things...

Since you usually oil your blade, I don't think the coating will be the issue. The oil that you use should be more of a concern.

Mineral oil is safe; I don't know about others. Tuff Cloth says not to use it for food knive.
