>>UPDATE. You can still order at this price and get the discount by selecting Amazon from the "more buying choices" or "## new" pull-down menus, but now it says "Usually ships within 2 to 5 weeks". <<
Amazon is running the $10 off $50 promo on at least some Kershaw knives again, and the price of the Kershaw Cryo Speed Safe dropped overnight to $26.97, so when two are added to the cart the price goes to $43.94 shipped during checkout, or effectively $21.97 each for two. Not as good as some of the deals just before Christmas (which dipped under $20 each for two, or even $52 for 3), but the best price in a while.
This knife has gotten excellent reviews and is apparently quite a hit. It is a Rick Hinderer design, and is both assisted opening and a flipper, making it unique for RH designs as far as I know. I have two upscale Rick Hinderer-designed production knives by Zero Tolerance (a division of Kershaw), the ZT0551 and the ZT0560, and while those are very expensive in comparison and made in the US they are also probably the best folders I've ever owned, and I've owned a LOT. Those are also both larger.. fine where I live, but I'm near a city with a 3" legal carry limit (among many other laws keeping potential victims helpless). The blade on this is listed at 2.75", which should keep it comfortably out of argument-with-the-friendly-constable range unless you also have to deal with official buildings or public transportation.

The actual promo is "get $10 off your $50 purchase on select Kershaw Knives". If buying multiple knives, make separate orders because the deal does not appear to stack and is only applied once per $50+ order.

At some point people started viewing knives as weapons instead of tools. There was a time it wasn't uncommon for most young men to carry one. Not so common these days.
As for guns I have run into that mindset with some people I know. Owning a gun with a concealed weapon license became trendy at some point in certain circles. They aren't comfortable carrying around a knife but a gun as a status symbol is just fine.
Buying two is a great idea, nice to have a sharpened backup when your primary goes dull.
To answer the question, though- doubtful. I'm sure some here would be glad to help you with that problem though. Trust us. I'm sure you weren't using anything you'd stand to lose anyway...
CS mini-AK is hollow ground, Cryo is high flat grind.
Given that it's a Hinderer design, a flipper and assisted opening, I have little doubt the ergos are better and deployment much faster on the Cryo. If the handles do have sharp edges as reported, though, that could be a problem for doing a lot of work.
I don't disagree, it's just mixed in with a large dose of 'damned whipper snappers!'
'Course, when Clint Eastwood backed up "get of my lawn" with a Garand I'd bet a lot of the audience was silently cheering... but, wishful thinking.
"
Very sharp knife, and easy to open. I had forgotten to tell my boyfriend it was an assisted opening knife and it opened with such force (because of the combined efforts of both the knife and him) that it flung out of his hand. He recently discovered that the knife is sharp enough to shave his hair off with ease and now has hairless patches all over his legs."
Seems Kershaws are sharp, maybe sharper then you.

OP also TU and Repped!
As for people finding knives disconcerting/making them uncomfortable, I find this happens a lot more with the more "tactical" type quick open single blade knives(like this one). I've never gotten a negative response when carrying a swiss army knife or a leatherman. All knives are just tools, but a swiss army or leatherman is harder to consider a weapon.
