My meat prep is usually with a flexible boning knife. This allows fat trimming and working into the cartilage gap really easily. I'm wearing nitrile gloves for these steps for convenience and the handle needs good grip while oily.

My slicing knife preference is a 12" model. The long blade lets me get all of the way through cut in a single stroke, I like the plate presentation best when the cut is smooth and continuous.

I prefer these style knives, with the fibrox handles and stainless blades, over nicer models for meats. Things are always oily and the grip is great. The handles are much chunkier than a classic European chef's knife. I use my chef's knives for vegetable prep and such still.

Sharpening these is very easy by hand with a stone. I sharpen about once a month (sometimes several months) and use a knife steel to straighten my edges before each use. It's a simple setup and it works well. These style of knives have gone up in price in the last decade for sure, I used to see these for $10 and $20 and now they're $20 and $55.
There are specific "slicer" knives that are intended for making even, thin slices. I have a 12" victorinox fibrox that I use for bacon slicing and it works well. As others have said, make sure the bacon stays very cold and firm.
