1.0 out of 5 stars extremely poor construction, November 18, 2007

After buying 2 of these for myself and a friend, they both fell apart after several uses (the hinge pins came out and have been re-installed several times), the blades bent and lost their sharpness. A great idea but horrible construction.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great idea but it broke after a few uses, November 3, 2007

This is a great idea. I bought it a few years ago as a gift for my parents who love roasted chestnuts. It really worked well until it broke after maybe a dozen uses. I did not buy this from this seller - the bad review is for the product. I don't know what kind of metal it's made of but the inner part broke and Amazon would not help because it was bought by a third party vendor.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for big size chestnut only, November 17, 2007

The idea of chestnutter is good but needs some improvements. Due to the depth of chestnut chamber, the cutter can only reach the big size chestnuts. Also the cutter is not sharp enough.
