When I cut sandwiches I cut them in triangle more than I do in half. I use a sharp knife and just put pressure and press down. sugar

I suppose that you'd start at one edge and measure so that it would be close to being equal pieces, then press until the knife is on the plate at the sharp end. Then apply pressure gradually until the knife has been worked down into the sandwich. Then lift up on the knife and follow the partial cut until the sharp edge is almost at the end of your cut, stab until the point meets the plate and proceed as before until the sandwich has partially been cut all the way across. You should then be able to put the knife back at the starting point and, with one swipe, pull it through the sandwich with the sharp edge touching the plate. This sounds more complicated when reading it than it is to do. A good idea might be to practice on something thin, at home, until you get the idea. A grilled cheese sandwich could be used. I hope this made sense?? I've been picturing doing it in my head as I've been typing. --- Be positive!
