I have several. These are two I use.  The yellow handle one is heavy and the blades are well past the rim so it cuts cleanly. Made by Wilton.

 

The black one is adjustable and has a cap for the blades, made by AMCO.   Can be set for 8 or 16 segments.  The segments vary just a bit in width but unless you are really picky, it is not a problem.  

 

The core cutter in the yellow one is smaller so occasionally there will need to be some cleanup of some seed case left in the slices. I just spread them out on the cutting board and use a measuring spoon with a round end. 

 

 

Thanks, andie.  I bought an all-metal 8-segment Amco model today.  It also has a blade guard.  Oddly, the coring aspect is octagonal, rather than round.  Surprisingly heavy. 

Re: flat slices, I saw a lighter-weight one of this type that cuts flat slices, i.e., the blades aren't radial.  If you're interested, I'll try to get you brand and model info.

[Edit]  Here's the flat one I saw.  I may get her that one, too.
