A hand-held corn-sheller, by which an unskilled operator can shell the kernals off a husked ear of corn (maize), in the dried, fresh, or cooked condition. A single piece of sheet metal is formed so that it fits around the palm and back of the user's hand and also presents two rows of teeth extending out from the palm. Rotating the ear against the teeth causes them to inter-act in a manner which shells the corn.
