I have a little trick i use, but you need good peripheral vision. I place my bread parallel with the top and bottom edge of my cutting board, I place my knife at the thickness of the slice i want, then I line up the vertical knife with the top horizontal edge of cutting board, and just cut, keeping an eye on the blade to ensure it doesn't twist, but making sure you keep perpendicular to the top edge as you slice, slowly, can't be rushed. I've been cutting bread perfectly using this little trick. People are amazed at how consistent my free hand slicing is. It's kind of like carrying a filled cup of beverage, if you are stable to walk, walk as you would, but don't look at the cup, never look at he cup. And you notice not a drop spilled when you get where you are going.
