Sure, if you have the time to learn.
154CM can be sharpened with any of the popular systems. Do not use those cheapo, V shaped, carbide sharpeners. And do not use electric systems.
I recommend the Sharpmaker, made by Spyderco, as it is very easy to learn and you can get great results.

Ok, all together now:...one, two, three,....SHARPMAKER! 
Well, seriously: I am always one to recommend lerning free hand on a good set of stones, but if you don't like put in the time, if you have other hobbies for example (what an weired concept....
), or simply don't have the time, the sharpmaker is the way to go,...best together with a coarse DMT benchstone.
The answer is, btw., highly independent of the steel. Doesn't matter whether it is ATS-34 (154cm), CPM30V, 1095, D2 or whatever else you can think of...with the exception of traditional japanese kitchen knives which I would always sharpen freehand on waterstones. But that is more because of the extremly high hardness of their steel and not because of their steel type.
