Custom mini Canadian belt knife

What are you guys thoughts on the ESEE Canadian belt knife made by White River? Its magnacut steel. Opinions?View attachment 1013732
It doesn't look like it has the right tip up/handle angle geometry that makes it magical. Sweet knife though nonetheless. I know the one I have that Dixie made me has it right because it's basically based off the original. It almost cuts by itself. Opens skin up like a zipper.

Looks ok. Very thick stock (.13”) and a saber grind is sort of silly for a knife meant to cut, but everyone has their preferences. Huge ricasso is sort of a waste of space in my opinion when you could have more cutting edge. Pretty spendy for what it is I think

Thanks for your input. Since reading this entire thread and learning more, I can't unsee that huge ricasso on the esee. Also I think I'd rather support a custom maker. I'm just gonna have to get put on the list for a Dixie Zipper.
