The duck profile handle and nut holder design cracks all types of nuts with ease - and you’ll have fun too! With the large shell/nut container and ease of operation, the mess stays in the box and not all over your table, couch or lap. With you in mind, I've added clear bumpers to the Nutcracker bottom for furniture protection and hand rubbed the oil finish to a high gloss shine. The finished color is a natural wood tone with a rich golden glow.
