Ironically, it was Louis XVI himself who suggested the blade on the guillotine to be a triangular blade with a beveled edge be used instead of a crescent blade, so it would be more humane (otherwise, the blade would have to fall several times on the victim before killing him). Louis XVI got beheaded by the guillotine on January 21st, 1793.
