Pistachio splitter

A pistachio splitter, comprising:

• a base extending along orthogonal first and second directions;
• and
• first and second extended portions extending from the base of the pistachio splitter along a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions, the first and second extended portions of the pistachio splitter spaced apart along the first direction to define a gap therebetween, the base defining a recess therein disposed between the first and second extended portions, each of the first and second extended portions comprising:
• opposing major surfaces spaced apart along the second direction and sloped toward one another along the third direction;
• and
• sidewalls extending between and connecting the opposing major surfaces,
• wherein the sidewalls comprise a first sidewall of the first extended portion facing the second extended portion and a second sidewall of the second extended portion facing the first extended portion, each of the first and second sidewalls defining an inner sidewall of the gap, the inner sidewall defining a groove therein extending along the third direction;
• and
• wherein:
• the gap has a width along the first direction in a range of about 4 mm to about 10 mm;
• the gap has a height along the third direction in a range of about 14 mm to about 22 mm;
• and
• for each of the first and second extended portions, the opposing major surfaces define an acute angle therebetween, the acute angle being in a range of about 18 degrees to about 29 degrees.
