Leatherman Tools / Re: MAY 2024 MICRA 30 Day Challenge

« Last post by LoopCutter on Today at 01:19:26 AM »

Day 2

I opened a lot of mail at work today.  About 20 minutes of opening mail in a long unattended inbox.

So far… I like the small blade, dare I say, better than a Victorinox Classic. However I do find it bothersome to open up, especially when doing so several times.

At least I have memorized where the blade is within the tool. 

Many owners of the Micra do not notice that blade is a chisel grind blade.
For that reason it is my belief that it hold an edge much longer and outperforms the SAK Classic at staying sharp for more cutting.

I have had mine for at least 8 years, and not sharpened the blade yet, only stepped with the leather.

Can not say the same for my Vagabond. I can get it shaving sharp and it stays that way, until SUDDENLY it is not. 😜

…even though my uses of blades would be pretty repetitive.

My use tends to be pretty repetitive too, and I could carry pretty much anything in my corner of PA.  As long as you’re able to have some fun with it, that’s all that matters.

I look for the tweezer, and then know its on the opposite side.  Folding them halfway open, like in Post #113, makes it handle a little more like a "real" knife too.
