Bamboo reeds: [Talmud/Shulchan Aruch]

One may not slaughter with a bamboo reed.[1] [Some Poskim[2] rule that even Bedieved it is invalid. Other Poskim[3], however, rule that it is valid Bedieved.]

The reason: Some say that this is because pieces of the reed could potentially break off and cause him injury, or an invalid slaughter. [Rashi ibid] Others rule it is because of Ruach Ra’ah. [Yerushalmi; Beis Yosef 6]
