Regrinding fine edge to scandi

[Wayfarer]

I feel like a bit of an idiot asking but is it possible to regrind an edge from a fine edge to a scandi grind? I really like the ease of sharpening scandi edges but I don't know if its possible without destroying it totally or whether its worth doing?

If so how would I go about it?

Thanks for putting up with my stupid questions once again

Not really if it's a full flat flat or sabre grind then it's had more material already removed than a scandi grind would.

What do you mean by 'a fine edge'?

Sorry, I meant a full flat with secondary bevel

No worries. I thought as much, best to check though

And no, you can't regrind it to a Scandi

TBH I prefer a flat to a scandi and it's worth learning to sharpen both ways

A flat grind with a convex secondary is quite useful too

You need someone with a reverse grinder for that.

Good point. But it's finding someoe with one who's not got a long wait list .
