Please help with picture quality

After trying to photograph knives for the past year or so I have finally captured one that I really like. That being said I know there is tons of room for improvement. I would very much appreciate any feed back or comments. Thanks

What is your current setup? Lights, tent, placement of lights, reflecters, etc. With a photo of the setup you would have a better chance of getting input.
Hot spot center top of background takes my eye away from the knife.
Photo looks good, a bit of a glare on the back top of handle.

I'm no photographer just read and try to take good pictures with a cheap camera so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I think it's a very good picture especially like the back ground and the way you placed the knife and sheath. My eye went to the dark shadow at the recasso under the handle and sheath.

I feel like there is something there I'm misssing a reflector could be used to bring some light to those areas.

Very good picture wish I could do as well.
