Today it's the trusty Barlow yet again and my newest member of the fold, the Traveling Peanut - newly arrived from Sardinia, Italy :)

 
^^^^ Nice, I really wish I had ordered one. I'm so new to this hobby, I have a list a mile long and a much shorter bank statement.

I'm really liking the CSC. Nice and slim, but a whole lot of blade. You can pinch it open no problem, but that's because the pull is pretty light. I wish the pull was a little stiffer, but it's not because it's built poorly. It's really put together well. The blade opens really smooth and the spring moves it positively. It's just soft. My first super steel. The chestnut is really kinda cool, especially the story behind it.

From AG Russel's site.
American Chestnut was once the very heart of our forests. Straight-grained and strong, easy to work and rot resistant, chestnut lumber was used for everything from structural barn beams to furniture. The chestnut blight was first noticed in 1904, but by the 1950's billions of American chestnut trees had been killed by this fungus. The wood used in these handle scales is from a deconstructed barn in Hopkinsville, Kentucky that had been framed and sided before the blight. The wood has been buffed smooth and shiny to create the handles on these knives.
