4. Cut through on the bottom butterfly.

To make this way cuts I have 2 reasons. First is to hard to cut equally with nice result into the half with one cut. The second reason is we can leave between cuts the skin and when open butterfly like a book, both pieces stay together. It very seldom can be possible with lemon but may work with other citrus fruits.
