It's all in the knife and the pressure. Working at the Country Club, we hand sliced the bread we took out with the salads. Chef loved me because I didn't squish it half to death when slicing. Once you get that first cut, the knife does all the work.

Sharp cerrated bread knife, I highly recommend a Wustof or a Henckels. PRoper tool for the job and all that. If your knife is dull . . . just go Italian and rip a hunk off.

@ Sundae: needs to be a sharp serrated knife (as has been mentioned). The trick is to make the first cut and then 'saw' quite fast but without putting on too much pressure.

Yes they are, you'd be safer tying a knot in the cat's tail, than opening one of those diabolical clamshells.

I use my aviation snips to open clamshell packages. Works extremely well.
