I assume you mean that the bark is cut straight across, which I prefer as well, but there are a lot of "single-cut" reeds (with the bark edge left curved) even among major brands (so there must be a lot of players who prefer them). Vandoren, for example, covers both bases - Traditional and V12 are double-cut and 56 Rue Lepic reeds are single-cut. The Gonzalez reeds and all of the Ricos I've tried are single-cut, while the new Rigotti Gold reeds I've been trying this week are double-cut (despite the picture on the box, which shows a single-cut reed).
Drew, I'm honestly curious, since you used the straight-filed cut as a criterion, how you knew which were filed and which weren't before you bought them.
