Scandi ponder

Just pondering about a stainless blank I still haven't ground out which the customer wants as a Scandi grind.
But I have been thinking is a pattern steel suitable for a Scandi grind as when it is sharpened the bevel will loose the etch wont it?

I suppose it is no different than when a Scandi edge is taken to a high mirror and the sharpener cannot maintain that mirror when sharpening but still I am thinking the knife wont look right.

What are tour thoughts please?

Thanks
 
It depends, if they want a "true scandi" then my first thought is no for exactly the reason you said. However, if they just want the scandi-look and are going to sharpen at a secondary bevel then it will not effect the etch. I know several people who sharpen a scandi-grind at a secondary bevel angle.
