I thought kamisori's were pure chisel ground blades ? That one looks like a chisel grind with a back bevel or even an asymmetrical V grind, its had to tell for sure on the pictures. Would i be right in thinking this ?

Come, come, Carl - moderators aren't the only ones who can see what is (or is not, in this case) common good manners.
However, as the vitriol appears to be directed at them, I will follow your sage advice and say no more.

It might be best to message Gugi or someone like that, posting increasingly agressive messages probably wont help your cause.
I'd be thankful the continued abrasive comments are still here, if I were a moderator I'd make them disappear! Anyway even if in the wrong place people are still looking and commenting so I personally don't see a problem, but then I'm very easy going.
I wouldn't have been so annoyed had someone INFORMED me it was being moved. Instead I repost 3 times thinking i'm crazy before I figure it out.
After a hard day at work, I have no patience. Especially for things like this. Someone didn't even read the thread. They saw a link, and without reading moved a thread.
Very poor moderating skills.
Back on topic-
As for the grind, it appears chisel to me? One side is flat(technically slightly hollow), the other side is wedge like.
Front and Back pics of the razor, something I have learned over the years is to capture the pics off of e-bay or the thread becomes useless in just a few days
Plus we all can see the razor without having to jump around :)

Kamisori have slight hollows on both sides, a true "Chisel Bevel" is like a Microtome has, which is why they are harder to hone for shaving comfort :(
The only thing that I see on this razor is very minor and can most likely be straightened out over a few corrective honing cycles it the uneven bevel, that assessment is of course from pics and therefore is only as good as the pics :)
