Why does this finely made khyber knife have an incomplete fuller?

This is a khyber knife made for a wealthy client, great effort was made to ensure it looks aesthetically pleasing, however why is the fuller incomplete? Surely a smith who put so much detail in other areas could afford to make the fuller meet and not be split in two, especially if this was made for a wealthy client.

Even lesser khybers have a complete fuller. Perhaps this was negligence on the smiths part?
