That looks terrific for a 3rd knife! Hopefully, you are doing some serious testing along the way to assure yourself that it is, in fact, as terrific as it looks. This is especially important if you're thinking of making a business out of this as it takes very little to trash a reputation.

Since you bought a camera and you realize that it is your incandescent lights that are causing that gold color you may want to consider building yourself a light box. This doesn't have to be a big deal but it helps your knife pictures look as good as possible. Mine is just a large cardboard box with the top and part of the sides cut away and replaced with a translucent white garbage bag which acts as a diffuser. There are some daylight temperature lights mounted above the diffuser. Some free photo manipulation software off the internet is also useful for cropping and sizing the pictures. On the internet, you are only as good as your pictures ...
