Fragging a Chalice with a Razor Blade Scraper?

Yes I did and not only a chalice but a Tyree Watermelon! HA!


Basically I went straight down on the coral as centered as possible and applied great pressure. The blade went through the coral and down to the frag disk. I then just popped the disk right in half. Both frags lived and were fine. :D

that is a very nice color tyree, under what light?
 
Nice way in fragging your Tyree Red Rev.

I think I will practice on my Miami Hurricane first before using your method on other chalices.
 
nice clean cut
you could always try how tyree does it... drop it and let it shatter like a dinner plate
 
Nice job David and very nice chalice brother
 
Thanks and it was really very easy and seem to be pretty stress free for the chalice. :)
 
i used to frag acans with a flat head. im to scared to do it now. Plus i have a saw now.
 
mmm I want some. My chalice is just starting to come back from whatever was bothering it. One day it was just un happy, but I moved it a few inches more into the shad on my sand bed and it is now staring to look soo much better. I guess I didnt realize how little light some chalice like.. I hope to one day frag mine. IDK if I will do it this way though. id be too worried il smash the chalice..
