I've found a bunch over the years and want to cut one in half. Any
ideas what kind of (affordable) saw or blade would make a nice job?
They are typically 6-7" across.

It's true: diamond grit Sawzall blades and diamond edge round blades
are not THAT high, anymore, but I would rather start with a thin
abrasive cut off saw round blade to start with. How many Nautilus
shells will he chop up anyway?
