I like the picture and the damascus steel on the knife.

Looks pretty Sharp to me, pun intended. :D
If this is intended to be a product shot, it works well with the exception of the glass piece possibly detracting too much attention from the knife. It still works, but I'd recommend a prop for the knife that is smaller, and maybe blends better with the background. ;)

I appreciate the above comments. Agree that the 'perfume bottle' is a bit strong relative to the knife. Regarding lighting, here's a link to a thread at a 'knife photography discussion' forum containing a picture and description of my home-studio set-up, some example images plus pictures of lighting set-ups used by two pros who moderate that forum, and related discussion. I'd have copied the text and images into this thread but didn't want to bog down loading time - so here's the link for any who are interested: http://www.knifenetwor​k.com/forum/showthread​.php?t=32604 (external link)

Very well executed. I'd like to see the knife on an angle.
