Congrats on your best showing to date with the shot. As I read the comments, I don't have too much to add.
If you were going for a purely "product" shot, I would agree that there are a few technical problems (dof and lighting) that detract a bit from it. The pure white background and simple - square on composition are sending the message that maybe that's what this shot is meant to be and so folks have an expectation that the other elements need to be there.
The oof red in the handles adds a bit of punch to the shot and the in-your-face angle give the shot its interest (I'd like the tips to be more in focus). I would fix the rotation so that it's level. The symetry of the subject's placement call for a squarer frame and a dead center placement.
Please contact me if you have any questions on my comments.

'Ah - a bit of rust never hurt anyone...
Hang on a minute - they're jammed, soon fix that.
Aarg! I've just lost two fingers! Help - there's blood
everywhere.'
Let that "reconstruction" be a lesson to you: NEVER TRUST RUST
