Just got this new knife in the mail, and before it gets used and dirty and scratched up, I decided to take some pictures of it while it was still brand new.

Nice pictures, and very sharp, but maybe you could use a surface that is not scratched up either? Or perhaps go for a surface that is even more "beaten up"? The sharpness of your images reveal quite a few scratches in the bench (is it some kind of wood imitation (laminate, we call it in Norway)? Also, in the last, I can see traces of fingerprints in the clip (just under the D). But now, I'm being too pickish, perhaps.

It is a laminate table, and I agree, it was a bit scratched up, but it was the only interesting background I had available to me at the time. I should have scratched it up more but I am sure my roommate wouldn't have appreciated me doing that to her coffee table :rolleyes:

Great shots David! I'd would want to see more highlights to give it some shape and have cleaned the knife to lessen the lint or those white fibers on it. :)
Having something new is always a nice thing for doing some product photography shots. :)
