Why are guillotine blades angular rather than rectangular shaped?

Guillotines chop heads. If you look at the guillotine blade, it is angled, with one side of the blade much higher than the other end. I would think the guillotine blade would be shaped more rectangular.

When it comes to soft-body stuff slicing>chopping (generally). For hard-body stuff chopping>slicing (generally).

soft-body would be things like meat, bread, fabrics, fruit etc.

Hard-body stuff would be things like rock, wood, old bread, ice etc.
