I've recieved 2 frags with no eyes before that have grown and done well in my tank.

Also, it seems others have luck with eye less frags in this thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/general-lps-discussion/84824-eyeless-chalice-fragging.html

Most people want to buy a frag with at least 1 eye though.

Chalice's are really easy to frag, so the only other suggestion I have would be dipping them in some coral RX to help heal them. Good luck!

I fragged mine using common razor blade, long piece of pvc and a hammer.

Flat head or chisel and a hammer all you need. You'll be good.

He's got a saw, I'd stick with that. By far the fastest and least stressful on the chalices. All the other methods work just fine, but if you got a saw, crank that baby up!!

I think you lose too much by using a saw.

I'd say include an eye for sure. I have gotten lucky before with eyeless frags, but usually they don't make it without a functioning and undamaged eye. Happy fragging!!
