What is the best bread slicer you know of?
Phluge
slicer-holders that works better than eyeballing but leaves something to be
desired re: even though the ribs are consistently spaced, thickness results
can vary.
I also tried a bow-knife thing, which in theory looks great, but it slices
almost an inch thick.
I was just wondering what other people have tried and learned.

Sharp serrated knife and a steady stroke as you cut. Amazing accuracy after
learning on a few loaves of bread.

:I use a breadmaker exclusively now. I have one of those squarish ribbed
I use a knife and my eyeballs. A bit of practice and some care, and
you'll learn to do it. When you're working at picking up the skill,
it's helpful to use a cutting board that has a square corner. Line
the end of the loaf with one edge; the side with the other. It's
pretty easy to see if you've got the knife perpendicular to the loaf
this way, and adjust so you do. After you do a couple dozen loaves
like that, you'll have it down, and will be able to do it without
thinking.

Or any other desired thickness, if you're clever about adding a spacer of
appropriate thickness to the inside of the bow. I've used pieces of rubber
tubing (or garden hose) slit along one side to fit over the bow, and presto!
But the best bread slicer I've found is my monster Sabatier bread knife -- 12+
inches long, with a blade about four inches wide. The wide blade makes it a snap
to slice at a constant thickness.
