Default Kalis with unusual Lamination

i'd like to call this the "Almost Kalis". the pommel is "almost" like one of those superlative junggayan. the wing appendages are about as wide as those junggayan krises but the beak and tail were simplified into the more normal types.
then i decided to etch the blade, to see if it is laminated. i was ecstatic to see twistcore then about a third down, i was like, "what the...?" from twistcore, it went to the skunk stripe lamination pattern. seems like it just petered out on me. both sides were like these. an "almost" twistcore blade...
the twistcore covered the upper third. notice how it's all the way to the trunk. the katik is laminated as well, but it's the more average type.

comments on this unusual kalis?
