European Wood Nut Cracker

Works really well - its a bit slow if you have a lot of nuts to shell, but it is so well finished that it is a pleasure to have :)The wood is quite soft so you have to be careful not to chip the end of the screw with a badly placed nut.

Beautiful! Functional! Classy!...and made in Poland, if you care.This is, without a doubt, the nicest and kid friendliest of nutcrackers. If you want efficiency, I can recommend better, but if you wanted efficiency you'd buy shelled nuts. This is a lovely experience.I like mine so much I'm thinking about sending them to everyone, next year, for Christmas. I just hope they are still available (and still so reasonably priced).

We love this thing. It is a lot of fun to snack on some nuts with the evening beer using this cute little mushroom. It moves very smoothly and is solidly made.

The perfect tool for those tough to crack nuts. The cracker works for all shapes of nuts & does not crush the nuts into small pieces.The nut crack is cute and a great conversation piece when our guests what the odd shaped object is.

My parents own a wooden nut cracker which I would always use to crack nuts in the fall. Once I got married and had my own house, I decided to look for one to give me a sense of autumn cheer and to display with a wide variety of nuts: hazelnuts, walnuts, macademia nuts, pecans, etc. Settling upon this nut cracker, I went ahead and ordered this model rather than any other one (a little wary of other nut crackers with a similar design but which had reviews stating that the threads were weak, broke quickly, etc.).I've used this for about a month, and I'm happy to state that it looks like it will last me as long as the nutcracker I grew up with (which is still going strong)! I love the two-tone design, and it cracks every nut I've thrown its way--even pecans and tricky macademia nuts. I love it. Buying another one for my aunt.

This is so easy to use! My 8 year old has been wanting to shell some pecan and almonds. I thought this looked like something he could use easily. I was right. He has no problem even shelling walnuts. He has had a lot of fun too. I recommended it to my sister who bought one.
