Using a flash does not give good knife pictures. Better to build a Light Box or take pics outdoors when high overcast. Handles are most likely celluloid and need to be checked at least once a month to look for signs of breaking down and off gassing. The gas will corrode metal deeply and with time destroy the knife and adversely affect nearby knives as well.
