Looks pretty good but here are my suggestions. Shoot at a smaller aperture (higher number) like f/22 or f/32, that will bring the folder or whatever that is in the background more into focus. The camera you're using may not allow you to do that but the D80 will.
Also, add light to the background, you can create a pure white background but you will have to put light on it without getting it on the subject. This is easier the farther away your subject is from the background.
Lastly, when you get the D80, shoot on manual. If you take the picture on an automatic setting you will have problems with the exposure because of the white background. Put the camera on manual and meter just the knife, that won't work perfectly, but it's the easiest way I can explain it to you. You can mess with it from there based off how the images look on the lcd screen on the back of the D80.
