Tiki Douk

Been a while since I posted last. I picked up a Tiki Douk-Douk today, with the hard chromed handle and blued blade. My question regarding the knife is this: Would the bluing on the blade make it unsafe to cut food with? I know that cold blued blades shouldn't be used for food prep, but what about this one? I'm pretty sure it's hot-blued. Do you guys with blued Douks use them to cut food?

I wouldn't worry about it. Hot bluing basic leaves a different type of oxidized iron on the surface, kind of like "good rust". The worst it would do to your food is add a little iron. I have a regular Douk Douk and I cut everything with it.

Thanks. I had the standard version and passed it along to a friend... And then missed it.
