Alessi Heart Nut SplitterThe nutcracker Nut Splitter is a graceful little utensil made from precision cast steel and inspired by an archaic practice performed by farmers and foresters, who would crack nuts with both hands and with the help of a little pocket sized punch. The designer's vision was inspired by small propeller like maple seeds: a sign of freedom and of the bond between different cultures.
