This is the Swedish-made nutcracker that won a prestigious European design award for its ability to crack nuts easily, without leaving a mess of shell fragments. Winner of the German Design Plus prize, judges awarded the nutcracker for its powerful action and trend-setting design in housewares. The handheld nutcracker has a double-action lever that requires next-to-no strength or dexterity to open hard-shell nuts such as pecans, filberts, and walnuts. An integrated container catches and collects shell pieces and nutmeats so you and your table stay clean. Made of die-cast zinc and brass to combine style with durability. Disassembles easily for hand washing. 6" L x 6" W x 2 3/4" D. (1 lb.)
