Walnuts are not low in cholesterol, they have absolutely no cholesterol making them cholesterol free. Cholesterol is only found in animal products.

There is no way in hades you can crack a black walnut shell with a knife or a rolling pin without doing major damage to those implements and/or yourself. The walnut will escape unscathed. You need a hammer and a hard sturdy surface, or a piece of professional cracking equipment.
