First off, let me tell you that I've had a Swiss Army Knife (SAK for the uninitiated) of one kind or another in my pocket for 10 years. Oddly enough, I was reluctant to change because I'm kind of attached to the toothpick (free psychological advice is welcome).
Well, a couple of guys at the office were praising the Micra, so I went and bought one today. I've decided to give it a go and carry a toothpick in my shirt.
The Micra seems to be a well built little guy. Definitely focused on the scissor and tool crowd. Lots of little screwdrivers to help you get out of those locked bathrooms (toothpicks don't help there). One issue I have with the scissors is that mine seem to close a little beyond the midpoint, ie. the points of the scissors extend just a tad past the opposing blade.
Now I know the Micra can be a weapon of deadly force in the hands of an Undead Rodent, but what about the rest of us?
So, what's the forumites's take on the Micra vs SAK controversy. Which is better for you and why?
