...better than that three leaved plant over there...

lol yeah

I was wondering if a coffee filter would be useful at all to filter some of the gunk out before you purify...

I do this all the time. anyway, I believe the original is better

I might just do that, but not for the reasons you suggest. I have a Micra, but I like my small SAKs much more. Better fit and finish. Smoother action. I can access all the tools without unfolding the entire tool itself.

If you're cutting stiff plastic blister packaging, the Micra's scissors may be do better. If, however, you're doing the usual kinds of loose-thread cutting, the SAK will do just fine.

I was carrying the Micra every day for a while, but the Victorinox Midnite MiniChamp II easily supplanted it. Since then, I've been wondering how to put the Micra to good use. It's not doing me any good sitting in a drawer. It will now reside in the Survival Kit Bottle.
