Well Lily does it very carefully but to be honest I just take an edge cutter or a shovel and split them! and they do just fine! Maybe your scrawny little specimuns were really tiny pieces and that is why they have not done well. It does take a while for most hostas to get really large and of course there is a big difference in sizes - I have wee tiny ones to humungous ones!
I have a large hosta that I chopped 3 pieces off last year and you cant tell the difference this year!
