Well, you know you have a good image here, and it fits the category nicely. Probably there's a little extra-curricular speckling in the darker blue, but you couldn't clone it out and "stay legal" so I say good job, well done.

I like the movement of the blade. Would have worked better for me if the whetstone was totally in focus.

........expresses movement and light in the scheme of texture. A good idea. The whetstone at the base of the picture appears to be a tad heavy. Looks like a very good blade.

Interesting thinking - and at least trying to do more than one thing. Compositionally a bit blunt (did you try positioning the knife further left in frame?), and the texture of the stone is not well shown - no sensation of that light graininess of it, for me.

I really like the colors and textures in this image, but I think the butterfly logo on the blade is distracting.
