Knife or technique?
You have to be certain you are driving the heel of your hand into the blade DIRECTLY over the garlic, for if you strike lower the leverage will snap most steels.
Knife. You know the sets given out for Christmas. The blade goes into the handle maybe an inch. Ive seperated knife from handle. I am rather clumsy too so maybe just a little technique.
My wife hates that day....

The Wusthof 14" Brisket Slicer is another excellent choice. It's usually available discounted for about $100.
