- Is it a working nutcracker or just decoration?
- It works, but it is a small hand tool. It cracks almonds and hazelnuts well and struggles with thick shells.
- Will the brass tarnish?
- Yes. Solid brass darkens with use and handling. A brass polish brings back the brushed shine.
- How big is it?
- About 4.9 inches long, 1.9 inches wide and 1.8 inches tall. It fits in a palm.
- Can it crack walnuts?
- Only thin-shelled ones. The short handle gives little leverage, so hard walnuts are a strain.
- Does it come as a set?
- No. It is a single brass piece, sold on its own.
- How do I clean it?
- Wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it. Avoid dishwashers, which dull the brushed finish.
- Where is the ferm LIVING Forest cheapest?
- At 2modern, for $55.00, as of our latest check.
