Essentially there are two ways:
Free membership:
1. Take picture, save picture to computer.
2. Get an account at a free picture hosting site like Photobucket, Flickr etc.
3. Copy the URL of the Picture...
3. back to Bladeforums - in the message box where you typed in your question there are some icons similar to MS word. Click on the "insert image" icon and add the URL from your picture...
4. thats it...
For payed members:
1. You can do the same as above or
2. You can "go advanced" in the message window.
3. Click "attach" and follow the attach instructions in the pop up...
4. Then you can easily go back to your attached pics and post them in different areas if appropriate...
Hope those suggestions helped!!

he wants to know how to make them , not how to post them, but that is always good info 
as for the question, I guess practice is the best way, along with some great information found around the internet.

Oops, I read too quickly. I would suggest doing some quick reading, then maybe take a course (local schools, shops, etc.), and finally practice make perfect!! Here are a couple links (just google "how to take good pictures")

First, WELCOME!
Second,
There are some great discussions in The Gallery about photographing knives and post production of images.
A couple of good threads can be found with "Search".
Look for a thread by PhilL, titled "How I Photograph Knives".
and "How I do Image Editing".
AND
Threads by SharpbyCoop (one of the best knife photographers around),such as one titled:
"No Frills'$75.00 Home Studio/Lightbox"
If you haven't seen it, you've GOT TO see Coops gallery of knives. Jaw Dropping!
