It's a handy little bugger.I carried a Leatherman Micra on my key chain for several years but have recently replaced it with a Classic. The Classic does everything I need done and in a smaller, lighter package. Smaller and lighter has lots of appeal these days. I really like the leather sheath you made for your Classic. Nice touch. How did you mold the leather to fit the Classic?
Another great read.I think the trend is, when we're younger more is better and slowly as age and experience develop, less is more. Neat sheath.

Neat sheath.Exactly. When I was young my philosophy was "if some is good, more is better, and too much is just right." Now (as politicians say when they flip-flop on an issue) my position has "evolved." Smaller, lighter, and simpler is the ticket. Age and treachery beat youth and enthusiasm every time.
I think it was like some kind of temporary insanity that I eventually woke up from.
I wet molded the sheath, soaking in warm water, and then inserting the classic and using fingers to push and form the wet leather to the knife. I made the sheath to swallow the whole classic leaving only the keyring sticking out at the very top, to grab.
