Damn bald cypress knees in the yard are getting to high. I need to get these bad boys trimmed down. I don’t want to go any higher on my lawn mower settings and they are in the way for a project in need to get done. What is recommended to use for that? Reciprocating saw?

Yep. Or if you're into hand tools, a big toothed bow saw will do the trick.

Reciprocating saw should do fine,cypress knee wood is softer than you might suspect.
My neighbor has pond with bunch cypress knees,I used my Stihl brush cutter with metal blade.Whacked them off right at the ground,was much easier than I thought it would be.

I use a chainsaw and a reciprocating saw every year.

Cut with an ax after a rain, each side of knee has a root. Very easy
