purely speculation here, but could you "encourage" a split? kinda the same way some people split shrooms. get an elastic and tie it around the nem so it bisects it down the middle; it should be tight enough that the nem cant escape, but not so tight that it causes damage. just a thought. i dont confess to know if it would work or not. it seems much more gentle than slicing the thing in half with a cleaver (which is something i wouldn't do either tony)!
