Arima's? Arima's are among the most clearly reformed and powerful quinque out there. I have a little hard time reading the order in your sentence, but since it´s been asked before, I´m guessing you´re referring to Akira's dad, Mado Kureo shaping the Fueguchi couple into quinque that strongly resemble their original states. The one Akira is using right now, the Rinkaku spine made from Asaki, is wielded like a single highly malleable whip despite the fact that every Rinkaku can produce more than one appendage(they can choose to field a single one for more controlled usage), and though this might almost seem the same as it's previous form it was probably an excellent energy-preservant model already and with further adjustments it has become a terrifying weapon.

The one made from Ryoko was made in a bit of a rush, otherwise he implied he would have combined it into a Chimera Quinque with the other, as he complained that he had to use two briefcases. It was probably a preliminary model that he intended to change later, but it proved a huge hazard in that state nonetheless, and it's Koukaku RC-type plus the malleable shapings proved a huge problem for Touka's Ukaku RC-type, as injuries sustained from a Koukaku to an Ukaku most likely require a staggering amount of energy to properly heal from, further limiting her use of her kagune, and when you dual wield it with the Fueguchi Rinkaku you´re a force to be reckoned with to be sure. The preliminary model of the Fueguchi Koukaku was probably not energy-efficient, but Mado showed the possibility nonetheless. Most of the sword-like Quinque used by the bulk of the investigators in the Auction Arc are likely plain versions requisitioned to newer operatives before they acquire a good kill they can make something unique out of.
