Thanks.

I used T_Chrome_3E from metals.inc in my first post. I think it was too 
reflective. The attached image is a short test rendering that uses 
T_Chrome_3C. I changed the texture of the surrounding box to a sky 
texture. The blades look a bit better now. The original scene has a box 
of photos of my flat around the knife to simulate a real environment. 
But the ceiling is almost white so there was nothing notable to reflect.

Now I'm testing my knife in the scene balcony.pov from 
scenes/advanced/balcony/ but this will last a while. I'll post the 
result when it's done...

So long,

Bonsai
