WiseCracker™ Crab Splitter and Cracker

I happened on this stylish kitchen and table tool in I.D. magazine, where it was named one of last year's most innovative and stylish kitchen tools.

Features:

• Splits shell with ease

• Pick on handle can be used to pull away meat from shell

• Unique design keeps hands away from sharp shells

How to use it: "Simply push WiseCracker™ into the shell, squeeze the handle, release, split and presto! Perfectly exposed crab."

I.D. judge Laurene Boym declared it perfect for "foodies with fetishes."

It was invented by David Holcomb, an inventor and the CEO of Chef'n.

Made of nylon and stainless steel.
