This image shows some of the Various large Japanese utensils, including a long flexible Oroshi hocho ( おろし包丁) (middle) and a hancho hocho (半丁包丁) (closest to camera). The utensils are used to fillet larger tunas. I am the photographer and took the shot during a visit to the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo. In the background is a large piece of tuna and two workers to the side. The image appears in Oroshi hocho.

Comment. I don't like the cropped people on the side of the image. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:14, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's nice to see the knives in an "actual use" setting, but I don't think the composition features the knives well enough. It looks a bit too "spontaneous" for a photo illustrating knives. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 18:36, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per my comment above. ~MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 22:57, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: at its current state, the picture is probably too small to pass a FPC. Could you upload a bigger/higher resolution picture? Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 18:51, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Too small, not very striking. Glaurung 19:28, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I don't like the composition and like MDD, I'd prefer to see them in use. - Mgm|^(talk) 22:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Higher quality image loaded. 1600 x 1200 Pixels (1.92 MPixels). I appreciate the imput. For the knives in action, checkout Image:Oroshi hocho Tuna Knife.JPG, however, there is a bloody rag laying accross one of the blades. We didn't want to disturb these men during their work. The position of the knives was as the worker placed them in the course of his work. Cafe Nervosa | talk 00:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Can't tell whether the picture is about the people, the fish, or the knives. No focus. D e nni ☯ 02:29, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
