In which direction is the blade curved?
Is it like a section cut from a cylinder with axis parallel to
the handle (which would be fine as the edges are still straight),

Yes mostly this, the ridgid ali backplace keeps it striaght along most
of the length of the blade. There is then a little curvature up at the
corners which keeps the points from marking the surface... it is quite
subtle though. The edges also come pre ground.

or is it like a section cut from a sphere (which sounds like a
disaster as the edges will be curved)?

It is basically the same shape any trowel will be after a couple of
weeks of use.
