For thin slices, I don't think there's anything that cuts better than
a wire. If you don't like the lever/slab types, or aren't willing to
adjust or replace the wire when necessary, you might try the hand-held
wire/roller slicers. They work very well for standard deli blocks of
american or cheddar.

I find hand-held wires with two handles almost impossible to use for
equally thick slices.
