Splitting accounts for the demise of about a quarter to a third of my reeds, but not at the tying stage. If the cane splits outward just above the tie, no more than a few mm past the thread, I don't discard the reed. Fraying of the tip accounts for another third or so; I made some discoveries about knife sharpening techniques yesterday that will hopefully help me get that fraction down a bit, but I think concentration about knife position and stroke is most critical for these. Then there are those reeds that just get too much taken off in critical places, and just never make a good reed.
