Katie..... I had trouble with even slicing when I started baking all my bread - 1997 or so. I must have mentioned it to my niece at some point because the following Christmas she gave me a bread knife with an attached adjustable guide. I don't know where she got it but it solved the problem -- perfectly. Now I just have to be very careful where my fingers are -- it's very, very sharp. Even now, after all these years. Perhaps a web search for 'bread knife' or 'adjustable bread knife' would work.
