ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a light weight, portable, hand-operated device for extracting the kernels of very hard-shell edible nuts in premium-size pieces without crushing. On black walnuts the device is effectively used: first to split the nut along its natural suture; and then by using its tooth-like nippers, the hard shell of each black walnut half is split into very large portions along five outlined paths thereby releasing the kernel in large premium-size pieces. The invention is comprised of jaws with nippers, a lock to hold the jaws closed, a splitter blade mounted on one handle and a slotted safety ring mounted on the other handle adjacent to the splitter blade.
