Frequently judged the world's finest nutcracker, the Drosselmeyer nutcracker is unique in design and operation. It's made out of 100% zinc and features double-lever operation and a distinctive funnel shape to bring high pressure to bear on most any nut, regardless of size, with a minimum of effort. Just a simple squeeze on the handle and the nut is cracked. The shape even traps the broken shell inside the cone to keep mess to a minimum. Designed and made in Sweden. Easily disassembled for cleaning. All-plastic version also available.
