I haven't seen one like that!  Could have used it for the black walnuts we used to get at my grandmother's house!

Aren't he ones that cut off the ends are referred to as shellers instead of crackers?

My above "pictured" nutcracker will "crack" those black walnuts ... just s fast as you can place a walnut in the lower jaw and crank the handle down. And it will never "crush" one unless you crank the handle 2 or 3 more times on the same nut.

Black walnuts hulls are tough to "crack" ..... but not half as tough as a Butternut (white walnut) hull.
