The only difference in specific terms might be that a twist core has edge material (not neccesarily twisted) surrounding the,er, twisted core. In my understanding, the "turkish ribbon" part is the multiple rods of twisted material welded together to form a larger whole.

What's in a name...Construction and manufacture techniques would be pretty much the same thing.

Beautiful weapon!

Well I finally finished unwrapping the cloth material and found a strap. I then restored the missing horse hair. Here is the picture of the finished work with a picture from Cole's The Wild Tribes of Davao District Mindanao for comparison.

Enjoy
