   My wife buys expensive sliced almonds (that is, they are twice as expensive   
   than whole almonds are) to bake at 450F for five or so minutes until browned   
   which we use for sprinkling on salads and on yogurts and the like.   
      
   I'm a DIY type person when it comes to simply slicing an almond.   
   Or so I had thought.   
      
   I _tried_ to slice them in the hand held food slicer but it's impossible.   
   I tried to chop them using a meat tenderizer hammer but it's too brutal.   
   I tried to grind them using a coffee grinder but they turn into flour.   
    (And don't suggest grind them less because you can't control almonds.)   
    (Been there. Done that. At least with _my_ hand-held coffee grinder tool.)   
    (You can control coffee beans, but coffee beans are not almond seeds.)   
    (You either mostly get half flour and half whole almonds, or all flour.)   
      
   What common homeowner kitchen tool will slice or evenly chop whole almonds?
