Your images are clear and have good definition. Stay away from backgrounds that look like carpet. It says: "I laid them down on the floor and shot 'em." I find the more I shoot the better my pictures get. Play around with different backgrounds, lighting, and camera settings.
If you haven't already checked them out there are alot of good threads here and on Custom Knife Forums on digital knife photography.
Keep at it and have fun.

Overall good lighting and clarity. You will do well. Keep on it.
Now the helpful critique:
They are just a little oversharpened, as I can see the loss around the mark. Not so much.
I try never to post an image much beyond 750pixels wide. Mostly 640-700, because this is what fits inside the borders without using the lower scroll bar. Ugghh.
For the size of these images, they are filesize heavy. Boink is right. If you keep the size down it helps. Oversharpening ADDS filesize, so you are doing wrong twice.
If your program has an ability to compress to a percentage, anything over 60% is invisible on the monitor or web, so you don't need it.
Oh, yeah, the busier the background the larger the file. Rugs, and this type of rug in particular are murder!!
Again, you got a good one and I wish you MANY great upcoming photo's!

Thanks for the replies. I shot the pictures on carpet tiles in the consevatory which was the lightest place as it faces south. I will compress the images more as i am on dial up modem and appreciate the slow downloading.
BTW the camera used was a Nikon Coolpix 2100
