I had my old Micra for about 25 years. It got lost from time to time, and always managed to turn back up. Last weekend I lost it for good, most likely in an Irish pub that’s too far away to return to just to locate a lost item. This seems like a fitting retirement, I hope a server found it and gives it a second life as their new favorite useful item.This new one has gotten more expensive in time, and that is probably the only change. It’s still a solid, well-made mini tool, the perfect size to put on a keychain or in the small pocket-watch pocket in your jeans. It is incredibly useful, and is the tool I go to first in many situations. Truly the only downside is that you may easily forget that you have it when entering a place where even this very small blade is not permitted, such as a courthouse or when boarding a flight (a few of my near-separations from my old Micra were in these circumstances).I do specifically recommend the stainless steel version. I tried one of the color options, and it felt flimsy by comparison. The color ones have an additional plate over the outer part of the tool rather than coloring the steel, and it felt as if the build of the tool was compromised to make room for that outer shell. I’m happy to have the old traditional back in my pocket, and I’m looking forward to another 25 years with this one.

I'm a devoted fan of Swiss Army Knives. But the Leatherman Micra is what I carry with me every day. For most people, it's their best option for everyday carry... For people who already carry a knife, this gives you excellent scissors, plus decent screwdrivers (including one for eyeglasses) and personal grooming tools. This is also what I get for family members who aren't particularly handy (and will appreciate scissors more than a knife or pliers). While none of the tools are "locking" the micra design prevents the tools from closing-up on your hands (a nice little bonus that's not often noted).The tools on this are not as well finished as the tools on Swiss Army Knives. For example, the fingernail cleaner is not as nicely smoothed (although it still works great). BUT, the all-stainless construction of the Micra gives it a nicer quality feel overall (compared with the plastic or aluminum covers of Swiss Army Knives). That makes this a very gift-worthy item.What else could be better? The knife on here is not awful (more capable than the knife on the smallest Swiss Army knives). But I'd rather have a box opener on this. (Leatherman's box openers are notoriously amazing at opening clamshell packages.) This knife is always going to be a distant backup option.... plus, the knife is the reason why a metric ton if these are seized by the TSA every year (as a result, the used market for Micras is absolutely enormous).Are there any downsides? Really hard to find any... but the tip of the scissors can scratch you when you are opening them (fairly easy to avoid, once you identify the issue). Also, the product is a sort of "in between" size. Yes it is good on a keychain, especially if you only have 2-3 keys. But if you already have a bunch of stuff on there, the micra can easily weigh you down. Without being on a keychain, it is small enough to lose. So having a brightly-colored lanyard or leather pocket slip are highly recommended (look for a small knife slip, with a space pen sleeve on the side, if you follow my suggestion below).If you're sending a son or daughter off to college, this is a great item to give them. I would also include a Fisher Space Pen (or Pokka Pen), plus a keychain flashlight (the Nitecore Tube 2.0 is a good value and size... most important thing is that you want it to be usb-rechargable). These items are the last thing most teenagers would think to spend their money on, but they will bail them out of so many minor jams.
