Before you read this guide...
This page is intended to guide amateur cutters who have difficulty in reproducing the bijou model. Please do not use this guide if you do not need to as the whole idea of the bijou is to challenge you to reproduce the model.
The Tiger's Bite is not an official cut. This is the name I have given it since it has bitten many people who have attempted it and failed in reproducing the model.
The above picture is viewed at an angle from above. To understand this cut it is better to look at it from all its other angles.
