Assuming you don't mean avoiding a knife altogether, take a look at eBay
#310014800826.

Alternatively, use any bagel slicer which accomodates *very* thick bagels. Add a
spacer (can be anything, really -- your other half can undoubtedly fix you up)
as thick as the slices you want. Cut once, move the spacer to the opther side of
the bagel, and cut again. Voila -- three equal slices.
