LionSteel M5 how to sharpen

[Marian0205]

Hi everybody

I am planning to buy LionSteel M5 knife. But I little bit worry about sharpering of this knife. I do not have experiences with Sleipner steel. Can normal human sharpen it? Or it is so hard to sharpen as sharpen D2 steel?
What abrasive tool would you suggest for sharpening? Diamond rods or ceramic stone or?
Thanks for every reply.

Diamond or ceramic are good.
Final stropping with compound for a durable edge.

Could you specify a correct angle per side? Many thanks

Around 25°. Good edge, durable....

Thank you, I appreciate. What you think of an angle below or just around 20 degrees?

25° is a good angle for camping use. Work on hard wood...
You can consider also 22/23°.
lower than 20 you have super edge not suitable for hard work.
