Put them between the thighs of one of LBP's female hotties.

My dad would get two in his hands and squeeze. Then he'd pick apart and eat the one that broke.

Small hammer and a chunk of steel.

Good pliers.

I just hold two of them in my hand, and squeeze until one cracks

There's a 100 ways that work. Easy or best? Not really, why there's a 100 different ways. My parents are in their late 80's now......somewhere between their mid 70's and mid 80's they were on a walnut gathering odyssey and life's mission it seemed. Lol. I built mom a walnut cracker. Worked. Better than other methods? Not really, just easier on her hands with doing that many.

Leverage son, leverage. Whatever you can come up with that has a handle to give you leverage will be a lot easier on you. Getting the "goodies" out as my mom calls them isn't necessarily easier no matter what you do.

If you look up a Arbor press, that's along the thought process of what I built for my mom. But there would be lots of other ways using leverage to crack the same nut, pun intended. Ha.

If youโ€™re talking black walnuts, I hold them in between the jaws of a vice, and close the vice till they break. Continue to hold them as you squeeze with the vice or pieces will fly everywhere.

Bench vise works ok. Put the walnut ends on the jaws and slowly crush. Real world, black walnuts and hickory nuts are truly a tough nut to crack.

The black walnuts do have a distinct and appealing flavor. Getting the meat out of them is tough. If I was going to bake a cake or make a pie this would be my route of choice.

You can buy black walnuts ateven Walmart.
Unfortunately, I don't think I've ever seen any ki d of commercial style cracker.

Best I can tell you is a metal/concrete/brick surface and a hammer.

As a kid growing up, we drove by a HUGE black walnut tree going into our deer lease.
Once a year, grandma went to the lease with us.
Grampa had instructions to stop at the walnut tree.
It stood about 50 yards off the road in the middle of a big sand field. Under the tree were several iron ore rocks. Each rock had several walnut sized divots worn in it where others had previously cracked walnuts.
Grandma wouldn't let us go hunting until we had cracked and picked a cupful of black walnut.

Camp was 45 miles from home. In East Texas, don't tell me we didn't drive by several other productive black walnut trees! LOL!
