Good pics!
Excat,
If you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, the pictures of knives and stuff are well done, but the images seem to be cluttered with too much "other stuff." It takes a bit before one actually focuses on the knives. The first thing I saw in the first picture was the truck model.
Otherwise, you Nikon is doing well for you and you've composed well.

Ah, so you planned it that way. Good idea on trying to get all but the subject out of focus a bit.
Just as an experiment as to see what would work for you, consider going out to Yukon's Main Street to Baker Photo and Video. They have lenses that you can rent to see which ones would work best for you. I took a "Mastering Your DSLR" class out there and got to play with a 50mm f/1.8 lens for my full frame D700. In your case, a good 50mm f/1.4 might work to allow greater aperture control. Of course, I'm thinking Nikon lenses, but you might prefer another brand. They rent all kinds of equipment.
When you do more, post the images here. I'd like to see your "evolving" of pictures.
