Just...sharpen it. Their "modified scandi" is just a shallow saber grind. 
If you want to convert it to a true scandi you'll have some work ahead of ya'.

Yeah, it looks like the 'modification' to the scandi is just a secondary bevel at the edge, just as with the vast majority of other knives. A true scandi would take the wide primary bevel all the way to the apex, omitting the secondary bevel. Grinding that primary bevel flatly to a complete apex would take a LOT of work. But sharpening the secondary bevels to a crisp apex would take much less time & effort and remove a lot less steel.

My msk was a scandi grind with slight convexing with a slight secondary bevel. As though they just kissed the edge with a fine sharpener to get the apex clean.
I just sharpen it on a fine diamond stone as a scandi is done. Lay the whole bevel on the stone and go. Then I raise the knife on a leather strop to get the edge.
