Who's got the oldest Micra?
on: April 12, 2016, 08:20:34 PM
Having only recently bothered to look at the date stamps on my Stainless Micra and noticed it's quite an early one I got to thinking what's the oldest Micra in forum hands?  So lets make a list; stamps from both sides, earlier one first and the proud owners name.  Copy and paste the whole list. 

0996/1096 - Gareth

Cheers Steve. :cheers:

BTW everyone, it doesn't actually have to be old to go on the list.  Given that the Micra is 20 years old this year I thought it might be nice to celebrate this fine tool. :salute:

I'll check my other Micra later on, it was a warranty replacement from Leatherman so it should have a more recent date.

Interesting!  I bought my Micra late fall of 2015.  Only learned of the tool a month before, if known of earlier, I would most likely had one. 
Most these earlier dates, are before the www became as prolific as it is today. 
How did you earlier adopters learn about the product, magazines, browsing sporting stores, catalogs,???
If you all remember back that far, shucks I think the 80s and 90s skipped me as I was providing for family, worked  to much
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

In my case my father had them for sale at work and when he bought himself and my granddads some PSTs I got the Micra instead since it was more my size (I was 6 in '97).
