Muela hunting daggers in my collection have factory sharp edges hollow ground at near 25 dps.
The dagger on your image must be a fighting dagger, used as a stabbing weapon.
When I have a request to sharpen a fighting dagger, we agree with the customer on re-profiling the edge bevel to 20 dps.
Another approach is to keep the dagger existing bevel profile and edge angle, and only hone the edge, but don't expect to get it very sharp this way.
