Walnuts are sold in stores both in peeled and in shell form. Besides the difference in price, the unpeeled nut has an advantage. The shell helps preserve vitamins and valuable substances.

Instruction manual
1
Soak the unpeeled walnuts in hot water. This will help soften the shell and internal partitions. So the nut will be easier to open. Wait thirty minutes. At this time, prepare a knife and two plates. One for peeled nuts, the other for shells and partitions. Peeling a walnut by hand is a long process. You can combine it with watching your favorite movie.
2
Carefully insert the knife into the hole between the nutshells and turn. If you push the knife too deep, it will be more difficult to turn it. Do not overdo it. The nut should split in half. Remove the partitions, peel the nut from small shells.
3
To speed up the process, you can use another way. Fold the nut in a plastic bag. Spread the bag on a hard surface that will not be affected by hammer blows. Gently tap each nut through the bag. Pour the contents of the bag onto the table and sort out the nut. In this case, you will deal with walnut cleaning faster. But a beautiful form, when the walnut is carefully broken in half, will not work.

There are also a number of nut choppers: nutcrackers, nut crackers, and other fancy tools. All of them are easy to operate and are based on the same principle.
note
Children often crack a nut in the doorway. It is not safe and can damage the door frame.
