For those with deck shoes and a a white-topped peaked hat, maybe?

I hope that's high on Neil's list for the bag of nuts.

I would have said the same and then saw they're for sale on ebay along with a squirrel version….amongst the novelty nutcrackers that also include a crocodile or a lady's legs and buttocks with the nut for cracking positioned in such a way that it's a cracker one gets out after a few glasses of port when the ladies have withdrawn…

Mick B1 – Sorry, don't know about the serrations – would guess cast-in; doesn't retain the kernel, it falls into the tray. PGK x2 – the actual thread is 'buttress(y) so presumably Acme or square.) Source, as with so much of my bits and pieces was a charity shop!

Just read this about nutcrackers and a coincident maybe but this came out of the shed today. The thread is 1" X 6

No need to make one – already got the ideal tool. Sandvik Bahco 8224 ratchet-adjustable pliers ('water pump pliers' ). The jaw shape holds the nuts well and its instant adjustment feature means that it can be set so that great force can be applied with minimal risk of movement over-shoot. But just give walnuts a smart rap with the back of a table-spoon. (Not expecting a prize…)
