You should join....sign up you know you want to....

Some more pictures to wet your appetite....food prep

I wanted to see how the Micra was compared to the classic.....the cutting comfort was soooo much better, but the chisel grind makes it difficult to keep the cut straight.....but it is a more aggressive cut and made short work of everything.

I may regrind the edge to a double bevel???

Cool idea leaving the Micra open and the cord wrapped around it to make it more comfortable to use :tu: :like: :like:

I need to put a lanyard on mine and try it like that maybe :think: :cheers:

Still considering this challenge.

It would be a difficult one for me given that I can't use it at work so it would be limited to days off etc.

That said; here it is down the pub where I may/may not have had a few too many with an old school mate  :cheers:

Hope yours is as good!

I may not stop using my MiniChamp for paracord work,  I did use the Micra to finish off this one.

I'm in! The Micra was the first Leatherman I ever bought. I carried it for a long time until I tried to mod it and messed up the Chicago screws. I managed to fix it with the Loki wrenches, but I've not carried it in a long time. I can replace the Fiskars scissors and Manager from my keys for the Micra. This is gonna be fun! :salute:

Advertising this challenge on the Micra and the “what’s on your keychain” topics would drum up participation, wouldn’t it?

Apologies for not keeping up the posts, fractured my wrist which has messed me up.....

Anyway, more ideas for using the Micra....today a Trollen Wheel template (I will be making this out of wood). The final product will be part of the many presents for my soon to be 7 year old girl.

So the Micra had its horticulturist hat on today, air layering a silver birch.

Looks as of I'm gonna have to bow out for next month.  Got some medical issues that might keep me from the challenge.

Trying to decide if I can forgo the huntsman for a whole month.... I don't know if I've ever carried ONLY a knife this small except maybe on a backpacking trip.

If I can remember to get one ordered, I'll be in too. Can't carry just a Micra by itself but I can promise to try it first in each task I encounter.

Amazon Prime has next day "free" delivery on Micras.  Don't ask me how I know.   :whistle:

I'll be looking in for sure.
Got 3 different medical appointments with the possibility of more coming up in May so I figured the best thing to do is bow out instead of trying to catch up on missed days.
Thanks...
