On 10 February 1908, the rough stone was split in half by Joseph Asscher at his diamond-cutting factory in Amsterdam. [20] At the time, technology had not yet evolved to guarantee the quality of modern standards, and cutting the diamond was difficult and risky. After weeks of planning, an incision 0.5 inches (1.3cm) deep was made to enable Asscher to cleave the diamond in one blow. Making the incision alone took four days, and a steel knife broke on the first attempt, [4] but a second knife was fitted into the groove and split the stone cleanly in two along one of four possible cleavage planes. [21] In all, splitting and cutting the diamond took eight months, with three people working 14 hours per day to complete the task. [4] Manutchehr-Danai, Mohsen (2013).
