I agree with what Rich and Buddy have already said. My answer to your question about the top and back being the only areas diffused. In my experience having the sides diffused can help by reflecting light back into the box, plus gives the added benefit of reducing unwanted reflections from objects in the room. In the pictures you have posted I can see where the frame of the box is visible in the knife pictures. I would try to cover those areas with white. When you are set up to photograph the knife, look at the knife from the same angle as would be seen from the camera lens and you can see what reflections, hot spots and uneven lighting will appear. This gives you a chance to reposition the lights, camera or knife or all of the above. Little changes in angle can make a big difference. Hope that helps.
