What are the original nutcrackers?
1 Answer
Original nutcrackers were made for the express purpose of cracking nuts. The most common design was a simple vise grip, which are still produced today. Decorative nutcrackers in the shapes of kings and soldiers weren’t designed until around the 17th century.
