How do you (what do you use) to slice cheese?

This is an art that still defeats me.

I've tried everything to slice block cheese, usually swiss or sharp cheddar into thin even slices suitable for sandwiches.

I have every knife known to man (or woman), including coated non stick ones and santokus to which the cheese isn't supposed to stick,but, it does, and it's hard to get a slice that is close to even thickness throughout or nearly thin enough.

I have two kinds of wire cheese cutters, the one that is hand held slices WAY too thick, the one that looks like a little cutting board with an attached micro guillotine works the best, but still hard to get even or thin slices. I have tried using a hand/box style shredder/grater on the largest setting to coarse shred for sandwiches, but sliced is better.

I don't want to keep buying sliced cheese when block cheese is so much less expensive and keeps forever when vacuum sealed, and I really prefer sliced to shredded cheese for sandwiches.

Can it be there is a gadget or technique I am missing here?

How hard can it be to slice cheese?

I don't remember it being this hard when my mother did it.
