I do not see many historically accurate reproductions that have a hollow ground blade so I assume this is probably a recent innovation.
Quench actually the Sheffield knives of old are technically hollow ground - the only thing is that the stone they used was 6 foot in diameter so that the hollow is a very flat radius but still a radius.
