I bought a Vosteed Grind a while back, and it didn't go well. It's a Scandi ground bar lock knife available in zero edge or microbevel. I got the zero grind, thinking it would be fun to experiment with. It wasn't. 
Turns out the bevel wasn't flat, which made it impossible to maintain as a true Scandi. In the process of trying, I made the bevel look pretty awful. Sure, I could have just put the microbevel on it and made it a user, but I thought, what the heck...
So I converted the flat-ground Scandi into a hollow grind using a Tormek T-8 with a CBN 160 grit wheel. Not a quick process, but I learned some things. The main lesson was that I wasn't going to be able to do it in normal lifetime maintaining a constant angle, so did a blended hollow to more or less reach the extent of the factory bevel. Not perfect by any means, but I like it. It's now 7 thousandths behind the edge at 15 dps.
