Blue and copper seem to be a problem for cameras. Maybe if you've got really serious photography equipment. I wouldn't know, and I refuse to toss myself down yet another "gadgets and gear" rabbit hole!

Light has a huge effect on photos, and you might have already found that. Obviously, sunlight is the standard, but it's not always possible. My experience has been having a light source behind me, and a light source off to one side, works pretty well. It helps if one of those lights is a little "whiter" than the other, but it doesn't seem to matter which is which.

Back ground color makes a difference, too. I can show you two pictures of the same knife, and the scales will look much darker because of the background.

For this light blue, try a white background, a very light tan/khaki, or a light gray. Avoid any strong, primary colors, which will "wash out" subtle blues.

If you go for the khaki background, you may have to play with your focus. Camera phones seem optimized for taking selfies. So, they sometimes interpret tan or light brown background as "skin tone", leaving you with photos where the background is in perfect focus, and your knife, in the foreground, is just a blurry mess. It's a perfect opportunity to remember to keep "first world problems" in... focus...

This is one I've had for a while, it's the bdz1 version,and still shaving sharp after all this cutting,but definitely noticed the edge was slightly affected still better than I thought it was going to do
