Blunt saws don't cut straight.

What makes a saw cut at an angle is (apart from the obvious) that the 'set' of the teeth is not even on each side so the trench being dug is wider on one side, relative to the blade of the saw. On the next cut th eblade will try to take the mid point of that slot.

and what is the first thing you do if you sharpen a saw is Re set it ,a blunt saw will try to snap the fibers not cut, if the saw is tearing the fibers use a finner saw.
