What is a chubby nutcracker?
A smaller and stouter nutcracker usually between 11 to 12 inches in height is called knilche in German or chubby in English. Chubbies come in a wide variety of charmingly unique characters and don't need quite as much room on the display shelf. Quite often chubby nutcrackers appear in tandem with their larger counterparts.

Steinbach nutcrackers are timeless family heirlooms to be handed down from generation to generation. Each Steinbach nutcracker is created using eight major processes from the cutting of the wood to the hand-painted details and can involve up to 130 separate procedures. Each hand-crafted Steinbach nutcracker is made in Germany by master artisans at the renowned Steinbach factory.
