Usually when I have really hefty knots that I think are cut worthy I move them over and try again later. I go in with Olive Oil and the metal end piece of the tail comb. Slowly removing strand by strand from the bottom. If after all this I learn it is a serious SSK, not coming out, staying in for life, I leave it alone.
I know it seems tempting to cut but I had to learn to leave as is.
Even with the splits I may notices a few if I'm playing with my twists and checking up on the ends, I will get slightly tempted to let loose with the scissors, but when I sit back and look at all the hair, the amount of splits overall is not significant and hasn't gotten any higher as my hair's gotten longer. I'm sure it will soon but for now, they aren't detrimental to my growth. Splits are inevitable. Keep cutting them and they will only return. Leave the ones you have now. Don't spare the length.
And truthfully speaking if I did have to go in for a trim it wouldn't be more than an inch. My ends are kept up off my body, sealed, and covered. So opportunity for splitting and tangles are low to begin with.
