Here is a Micra that has made a few appearances. I really love this little guy as it was custom made for me. I originally took it apart and could not get it back together. This was years ago when I was a bit green and was not real experienced in the MT modding stuff. Not that I really am now, but I can do basic things with MT's and feel very comfortable disassembling knives. Anyways, the damage to the screws and finish was me not the modder.

He custom made the awl and the chisel. The chisel is a mini version of the swisstool spirit chisel. It works beautifully and I always loved that single tool. He also made the Kydex sheath which is perfect!

Pics. Enjoy.

I forgot to add. This is the chisel it is copied from. I still can't believe how well he did on making it from scratch on such a small scale.

It looked so good I thought he had taken it right from the Spirit and made it fit somehow.

Here is a Micra that has made a few appearances. I really love this little guy as it was custom made for me. I originally took it apart and could not get it back together. This was years ago when I was a bit green and was not real experienced in the MT modding stuff. Not that I really am now, but I can do basic things with MT's and feel very comfortable disassembling knives. Anyways, the damage to the screws and finish was me not the modder.

He custom made the awl and the chisel. The chisel is a mini version of the swisstool spirit chisel. It works beautifully and I always loved that single tool. He also made the Kydex sheath which is perfect!

Pics. Enjoy.

How's the quality with the micra nowadays, has it changed over the years? I had one in my hands the other day, first time in a very very long time, and it didn't feel like I had remembered.

The squirt definitely felt like a jump in precision/craftsmanship.

It's hard to say.  My two feel different but one is 13 years older than the other and has had a lot more use.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

I have one from '97 and one from a few years ago and they are much the same as far as I can tell.

Good. I'm glad. I want to get one. For a small tool my gerber dime is cool, but I don't need to double up pliers with a small tool like that. So I'd prefer scissors on a smaller (keychain) tool.

So I'm looking at either a crosscut or micra, leaning toward the micra. I'm in no hurry, but interested for someday. 


Thanks

I agree with Steve....I really can't feel much of a difference, if any.  The Micra feels like old school Leatherman to me...rock solid!

I bought a friend a new Micra for Christmas, and noticed little difference from my 1999 example. Different finish on the handles, but no discernible change in build quality. Micra and MiniChamp still share the throne of best keychain multi, in my opinion.

I'm in!  Had one of these in the mid-late 90's.  Not sure what happened to it but thought I should give one a try again.  Got this one used.  It's in pretty good shape.  Doesn't appear to be used much but there is some rattle/slop in the scissors pivot.  Also somehow doesn't feel as solid as I remember my old one feeling.  Excited to have it, none the less,  and going to see if it will replace my Vic Classic.
