User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a thin blade? Can it cut/seed an apple without braking the blade
Answer:	There’s No peanuts in this assortment of nuts. And I highly recommend them for both the fresh taste and the price.
Question:	How long is this knife when open
Answer:	I'd purchased the 44oz bag which is a huge quantity - also there's no peanuts in there so its all almonds, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts which all tend to be pretty expensive on their own. That's my theory at least?
Question:	Is this blade stainless steel
Answer:	No where on my product does it say anything like this.

User questions & answers

Question:	can this be attached to a keychain
Answer:	I couldn't find the answer on the TerraSoul website, so I sent their customer service an email. They got back to me pretty quickly, and I'll paste the relevant part of their answer below. If they send more info later, I'll do another answer with that info. This does not definitively answer the question, though. I can just add that the Brazil nuts taste completely raw to me, and delicious. I can't tell they have ever been heated at all. Of the Minimally processed criteria listed, Terrasoul Brazil nuts meet the following: - They are certified by a USDA National Organic NOP program: CCOF is our certifying body. - They are certified by a Non-GMO program: Where Food Comes From is our NON-GMO certifying body. - The brazil nuts are not irradiated. - They are not heat treated at or above 212 degrees F. THis does not mean they are heat treated at all, just that they are guaranteed never to have been heated to 212 or above. - The bioavailability range through Cytosolve testing is a specialized testing done by Cytosolve, Inc. This avenue for testing is currently being researched by our FSQ team as optional testing, as products can score between 0-20 to pass. At a score of 0, the products would still likely pass as RAW due to high nutrient density.
Question:	is this blade thicker than the
Answer:	The package says country of origin:; Brazil, Bolivia or Peru.
Question:	How thick is the blade
Answer:	WITH SHELL. The shelled (without shells) one's always have more "duds" a.k.a. those pistachios that just taste foul for some reason. With shell one's also taste better.
Question:	Is this carbon steel or stainless steel
Answer:	Yes but I would not recommend buying these Pistachios. They are small, many old, they are seconds!

Answer:	Good question....... you'll have to do a bit of research yourself though as i'm not sure. i happened upon it because brazil nuts are a good source of selenium for my specific need. If selenium is also good for neurological health then i would assume you'd be good to go. What was your question again, i forgot ? ( heheeh, just joking)

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	I am not sure how to answer, but I use it to cut chunks off a block of cheese, cut meat on my plate, etc. Hope this helps. It is not a blade I would use to do heavy work, but it can open packages bound in tape, etc.
Question:	Are the bits the same size as the quick change bits from say home cheapo (1/4" drive
Answer:	These iconic French knives are much tougher than they appear, there’s a different model/# for every need, and yes, they can handle any apple or vegetable easily.
