What's needed is a special sort of nutcracker, but I don't know what kind actually works There is one designed for macadamia nuts (than which there is nothing more hard and slippery); it is a triangular piece of cast iron with a screw let into the top, which you turn to exert pressure. Certainly fixes those impossible macadamias and no doubt would work with your extra-tough almonds too (used edgeways on). If they are not available do you know an obliging ironworker?
