An electric knife ( Good Housekeeping test results can be accessed here: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/cooking-tools/g29963009/best-electric-…) helped me. Cutting it sideways instead of upright makes it easier. Also, for the giant 2 lb. loaves, cutting it in half horizontally made it much easier since you're not compressing all 8-10 inches while trying to slice it. You do get a top and bottom piece this way, but it really doesn't matter to me since most of the time I use both for a sandwich.
