I noticed the cross-section of this albion blade is four strait edges.

Is this realistic/accurate?

or should either edge be "pinced" so that there is a slight rise in the center of the blade and the bevel of the edges is concave?

William, you may be thinking of hollow grinding as apposed to a flattened diamond cross section. Examples of hollow grinding are shown with the Museum Line Svante and the Next Gen Regent. Both cross sections are seen frequently in historical examples.
