Proud owner of leatherman micra but would like a few pointer. How do i sharpen the scissors?
 
I've used a couple different ways. One was to use a thin metal sapphire nail file that I found at a dollar store. Works ok, and is thin enough that I can get reasonable far into the crotch of the scissors (what is the proper terminology for scissors, anyhow?).

Another method I've used more recently was a small tungsten carbide scraper blade. It's about an inch and a half long, about a quarter inch wide, and about 1/16" thick, sort of trapezoid in cross section. It easily sharpens the blades the complete length with some care. I have a Corona tungsten carbide sharpener that also does the job in the same way.

The most involved way is to disassemble the whole thing, which allows the blades to open up. But this is more work than the thing is worth.
 
Check out ez lap's diamond thing that is jointed with a ferrule and has a cap and pocket clip like a pen - I think it's for fishhooks - but there is a flat side as well as rounded side - works great on Micra scissor as well as serriated (sp?) blades. Another sharpening tool is the "dogbone" triangular ceramic. I find that with either I can get a Micra scissor to cleanly cut a single layer of TP.
Peace
