This year was especially abundant for Black Walnuts. I crack them in a vise
but after one hour or more soak in water shells crack much easier. Flush cut
wire cutters work great for getting to the meat.

So you just husk them and soak the walnuts for an hour? And the
"flush-cur" wire cutters are what, diagonal cutters?


Start with diagonal cutters, but grind off the outside surface
so there is no bevel -- the edge comes flush with the surface, so you
can get very close to a surface, such as a printed circuit board while
snipping off wires soldered through the board.

Enjoy,
DoN.
