Why do the slices stick to the side of my chef's knife when I'm slicing apples and such? Is there anything I can do to stop it? It doesn't seem to happen to the TV chefs.

Question for people who know something about hardware, and who might come from more icy climates than I do - what's the best way to saw through frozen soil cores (4 inches in diameter)? I've got several hundred frozen cylinders of soil I have to slice up for my research, and I'm worried that any standard saw blade I use is going to go blunt in 5 minutes. Circular saw or band saw? Blade material?
