These spring-jointed nut crackers and solid-steel nut picks were invented by Henry Marcus Quackenbush from Herkimer, New York--an inventor and industrialist who lived from 1847-1933 and brought us many of our every-day useful items, such as the extension ladder, these nutpicks and nut crackers, and many others.  Sounds like he was an amazing guy...
