You need to place the reed tip exactly at the center of the billot, with the knife exactly vertical and at perfect right-angles to the tip. This can be difficult to do by eye, which is why some reedmakers prefer a guillotine.
If you prefer one blade longer than another you can flatten the tip against the billot and angle the staple upwards slightly. Hard to achieve this using a guillotine!
I have seen some oboists clip the tip at an angle but I have no idea how this can be achieved accurately.
