Cutting pearl

Well, by the 3rd one they started looking pretty good right off the blade and it didn't break until I tried to file a couple areas. These things are delicate. :crying: I had to repair 2 + 3 with CA. Good enough for these. When someone starts offering real money for my mandos I'll keep making them until they're one solid piece. Until then, here they are in order of cutting.

I don't know if I want to try to file them any better. The chance of breaking them seems too high and I already don't like the repairs I have. I imagine by my 10th one I'll be pretty good at getting nice without resorting to a file. It's definitely getting easier.
