What's the best mango slicer?

I saw this one on Amazon,  http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Mango-Splitter/dp/B000AREB5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336077471&sr=8-1

The reviews are mixed.  Apparently the tool dulls quickly and will not work on a fully ripe mango.  What's your preferred tool / method of slicing mangos?

A sharp knife or serrated knife is your best bet. Cut along the flat of the seed as best you can the same way a fish is filleted. You will be left with two halves and a seed with flesh on it. Proceed from there ....best eaten outside of course near an outdoor sink or garden hose. Mango seeds come in many shapes and I can't see how this device (even if it stayed sharp) would deal with them

The one size fits all mango slicer fits only one size of mango.  If you always buy/produce the same sized mango that happens to fit the size of the slicer, fine.  Otherwise, best to just use a sharp knife.  I do not like a serraded knife for my mango slicing. I also prefer a longer blade which does not have to be razor sharp.  In fact some slight dulling of the blade can save some nasty cuts when you get into a mango cutting frenzy.

Those mango cutters only work on a particular variety of mango. The Calypso here is often accompanied by a box full of slicers in the supermarket.

My vote also goes to a sharp kitchen knife.

I remember there was a guy with a commercial mango slicer at Fairchild Mango Festival that seemed to work very well. It spun the fruit, sensed the diameter, and peeled it as the fruit spun around. But seemed like an expensive contraption.
