Yeah. You can. It's just not as much FUN !
haikuman has it. The problem with cutting a paver with a chisel is that you just can't make a straight cut on something that's 2'x2'.. it WILL go wrong and you'll end up just giving up and cutting it yourself. Unless you're a journeyman stone mason in disguise.
You *can* also just get a concrete cutting blade for your regular portable circular saw. but it's hell on the bearings if you're going to cut a lot of concrete. Cheapo contractors do that sometimes, then throw the saw away after a few months of abuse.
I actually got a diamond blade for my grinder to do some concrete trimming, but I blow the grinder out every time. I've still probably reduced it's life.
