I tried my hand at a western grind kamisori recently, here is the outcome

Steel is O1 at 60-61HRC, grind is quater hollow, and the wrapping is orange waxed cord, with some epoxi glue underneath for water protection.

I will be making some more in the future, this was was really fun to make. She shaves well, and handles very nicely with a cutting edge length of 57mm's.

Let me know how you like it, I welcome any positive or negative comments!
