-Consider replacing the swiss army knife with a leatherman micra. Gives you all the features (except the toothpick) and makes for better sissors.


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.
