Hey Lycosa,
I did something similar, albeit with diamond stones (x-coarse and coarse). I was prepared to do it with wet/dry, but I was waiting on the stones and they eventually came in.
I kept a micarta EnZo I made and it had a (supposedly) Scandi-grind-to-zero. In reality, though, the scandi edge was convexed, slightly. I ground it flat with the diamonds, then finished up with H2Ostones and, finally, a few ultra-light swipes on the Sharpmaker.
I assume you could do the same thing with a v-ground secondary edge, though, depending on the grind, would take alot longer than what I did. Mine was on O-1 steel, by the way.

I have a pic of the knife, but not one since I flattened the convexed scandi bevel. It doesn't look much different, except that you can see the flat area and small areas near the hilt that weren't touched by the stone.
In the photo below, you can see where I tried flattening the grind with an H2Ostone. THis took a looong time just to get this far, so I did more work on it later with the diamonds. It's better now.
