But just a question, how can you tell if something is san-mai? I don't know what to look for. San-mai means there's 3 layers right?

Do you have any photos of this balik mipih work?

Yes. Here's my pedang/klewang. It's the same style as those Sumatran/Lombok blades with the makara hilts, but obviously with a Javanese flair to it. Check it out. And yea, Mang Ako made it (I feel that might be his nickname, btw).
