that
Rabbi Yitzḥak says, and some say it was taught in a
baraita
: Five matters were said with regard to the stalk of a reed,

One may neither slaughter with it,
due to the concern that splinters will be separated and become embedded in the

Ramban on Exodus 30:34:1
MISHNAH:
If somebody cuts shoots of vines or cuts reeds, Rebbi Yose the Galilean says he leaves a hand-breadth but Rebbi Aqiba says he cuts as he is used to, with an axe, a sickle, or a saw, or anything he wants.

Jerusalem Talmud Sheviit 4:5:1
