Leatherman Micra Multi-Tool - 2007 BCS

This thing is great. The knife is surprisingly easy to use and the scissors were incredibly useful. Perfect size for a keychain, just don't try to bring it through airport security like I did.

Small, practical and lightweight, the Leatherman Micra has been on my key chain for years. It has just enough tools to work well for any number of uses. The scissors are nice for everyday use and the knife is small but sharp. My only gripe is that when it hangs from my key chain while driving, it can rip out the hair on my legs when wearing shorts. Overall, not a huge problem. Also, make sure to take it off before going to airport. I'm sure many a Micra has been lost this way.

I use the knife a lot.

forget Swiss Army knives - this is what you should try. i have had my micra for 2/3 years now, and in all that time, i have had it with me camping, or more recently, on my person 24/7. the scissors are incredibly useful in everyday life, and coupled with the small blade, this tool excels in the backcountry where light weight = comfort, without sacrificing any functionality. forget even the bigger Leatherman - the wave, etc - they are simply too heavy for backpacking when all you really need is available in this tool. the best/most valuable tool that i have in my backpacking arsenal. extremely highly recommended.

I've used it a dozen times already. So handy and compact. It's on my key ring and I barely notice it until I need it.

I have been surprised at how much I use this multi-tool. I keep it on my keys so it is almost always handy. I've used it multiple times for cutting fingernails at the crag, tightening loose sunglass screws, and trimming flappers. It is a great multi-tool to have in a pinch.
