Is it doable to regrind a manix 2 to a scandi grind?

Sure would have to remove A LOT of metal and I think if you preserved the bevel angle, you would have a very acute edge that would not stand up to much. Scandi bevels (based on how they index on a Sharpmaker) are either a little more or less than 30 degrees inclusive which is about as acute as you generally want a general purpose knife. The Manix 2 is sort of a hard use knife and I'd be worried about the fragility of such an edge.
It's hard to add steel back to a blade... 
but seriously, to change the primary grind from a hollow to a flat would require either a lot of removal at the edge, or raising the shoulder transition much higher up the blade. I think it would turn into a high flat-ground zero-grind instead of a scandi-grind.
I'd like to see someone try though, for sure.
