Westernizing Kamisori's by putting scales and shorting the handles.

I'm thinking about modifying a Kamisori blade by altering a westernizing the blade as a project. I have several blades I bought from Japan that are like this and love them. Anyone done this here? Been thinking about this for a while and looking to duplicate what I already have.

I have not done what you are asking about, but there are folding kamisoris. And I have taken western blades that were broken and made Kami-sized razors as well.

Here's what I have in mind.

Yes, understood you. No reason you cannot. Be cognizant that the everything but the edge is a softer iron/steel and potentially more prone to rust. I would probably keep them as made, but it’s all just preference, so….enjoy.
