Coating in your food...

Even if the coating flakes off and you end up eating it... what chances are that your body will process it so it goes into your sistem (instead of just pooping it out)... and how much of it will it create a real problem?

I never gave it a second thought and I cut ANY food with ANY of my pocket or sheath knives.

I have bigger concerns regarding what a knife might have cut last than any coating, and that mostly food/allergen related, the rest is of very low priority.
 
Is it better to eat the coating or the rust flakes/bits of uncoated Carbon steel ? :)

if you want to go down this rabbit hole - you'll find a lot worse is happening at the food packaging material stage... start there and you'll skip worrying about cerakote & TiN completely ;)

you know they did a long term health analysis and showed that all sorts of ailments are directly co-related to how far away from major hwys you live? - ie - closer to them = higher %'s of health problems, clearly documented with millions of people in the study/area

pretty logical if you think of it, brake dust, steering wheel & huge amounts of rubber off tires and of course the combustion gases....

anyway ;) cheers

Living near power lines is supposed to cause cancer.

Cooking in aluminum pans and foil, teflon pans are rumored to be even worse.

Contaminated water. GMO foods.

The list goes on and on. Everything is killing us. I’m starting to think none of us are going to live forever.
 
I have used my fair share of cheap box store kitchen knives in my day and never thought about the coating on them. They never really lasted all that long to begin with but I have never noticed colored coating in my food. As has been said I'm fairly confident that a quality blade coating will not be of concern.
 
As a card-carrying member of the TKHUPG, better known as Traknihauspaga, I find flossing and brushing my teeth to be sufficient for oral health.

Eating fresh, non-browned apple slices at work during afternoon tea is a statement in class and refinement. The jar of Grey Poupon and Beluga Whale caviar are merely accessories to drive the point home.

My father meticulously carved his apples. As a kid I figured that was how a real gentleman ate an apple.

One day I took a big bite out of a fresh apple. He looked at me and said “ I wish I could still eat then like that ”

Turns out he had to cut them up because of his false teeth!

I still prefer them cut up, especially if there is someone to share it with.

Some of us have little kids. Some of us have little kids that need the apple cut up a specific way for no apparent reason but that’s neither here nor there.

Quadrangles please.

My niece, not quite three, is the opposite. She has to do everything herself. She dresses herself, picks out her outfits, makes breakfast (yes she can crack eggs without getting shell in the pan), scrambles the eggs, etc. Its amazing. My sister or my mother just stand there watching. She has not burned herself or anything. She hasn't asked to cut up apples yet, but I don't plan on letting her do that for a few years.

She sounds precocious. My 7 year can do some very basic cooking but is really messy about it. He has a Swiss Army knife and fortunately uses the saw and screwdriver more than the blades.
 
Just for laughs, check the insect content permissible in flour..mmm.
A girlfriend of ours pointed out..if you read a bread wrapper, wood is acceptable fiber.
And those food line factory workers..a funnny bunch I bet!

She has 3 older brothers, and doesn't like to be left behind. She potty trained herself.

And GmpaJim GmpaJim that makes me think of the cafeteria pizza I used to get excited about at school in the 80's. I rarely got to eat the cafeteria food at school, parents couldn't afford it, it was always a brown paper bag lunch. However, once a month I was given money for pizza day.
