Leatherman Micra and Style CS Review. Plus Comparisons to Swiss Army Knife

[@captiankidandcrew]

No batoning?

[@stevenrobertson6656]

Is the bro becoming sensible ?

[@bumstudios8817]

Haha ikr wtf

[@grumpyoldwizard]

I find that now adays people look at you like you are a psycho or criminal if you have any type of knife. Growing up in Oregon, where a knife is pretty much a essential tool and never having hurt anyone with a knife if my life, I resent this attitude.

[@captiankidandcrew]

I've only ever had a weird look once wearing a fixed blade in Arkansas.

[@matthewtaylor3301]

Where I live, everyone carries a pocket knife. You'll get looked at weird if you don't

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I generally wear them in the yard at home or at the camp site. I carry pocket knives all the time, and no one says anything. No weird looks, no nothing.

[@shaneintegra]

I carried a Ka-Bar BK2 in the sheath for a week everywhere I went along with a Leatherman Surge. In the pocket of the sheath. I got a bunch of looks by mainly old people but meh. Im almost always in the woods/fishing and always have a purpose for them

[@FancyPrimate]

I get this too and it's really odd. I work in agriculture and I've always thought that everybody carried at least a small traditional knife but most of the people I encounter are knifeless. They kinda give you a funny look if you pull out what I consider to be a standard size pocket knife like a Griptilian or Blur. Nobody really says anything but they always seem surprised. Also I've learned that people that DO carry knives always have the "best" knife. Don't know how many people have boasted about their $20 gerber and turned their nose up at my "half plastic toy" Manix2.

[@thechugdude]

I wish they'd bring back the squirt for my keychain. I'm also thinking about snagging a Leatherman Arc when they drop. It's crazy that they used Magnacut for it's knife.

[@NazAllOut]

Great video!! I've owned my Leatherman Micra for more than 10 years and done my own review on it. I love this multi tool got the stainless steel version as well as the coloured green version.

[@MFD00MTR33]

You're the only tool I need.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks bro!

[@MangustificationGaming]

I usually don't need pliers nearly as often as I do scissors or screwdrivers, so I end up carrying my Micra pretty much all the time in the coin pocket of my jeans. I really like how small and light it is for containing all of the tools that are most useful to me. One of my many Spyderco folders will usually be clipped next to it in my hip pocket. I'll also have a BLF A6/Astrolux S1 flashlight in my back pocket next to my wallet. The video that you posted about that flashlight a while ago was actually what convinced me to get it. Together, the Micra, a Spyderco folder, and the A6/S1 make quite the effective and decently lightweight EDC combination.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

All very great choices!

[@jorgechaves2164]

I have considered many different options and the one I keep coming back to for a keychain is my Victorinox Manager. Covers most of those functions mentioned in this review with an added pen (very useful). Also carry a Leatherman Rebar in my backpack with a full bit set and adapter. In my pocket I often change which knife I carry on the day, but the manager and rebar are always with me (yes the backpack is always with me on my wheelchair with the rest of my emergency repair kit and mini pump:))

[@DeepThinker193]

The micra is super useful for me. I simply can't go a day without it. I've discovered you could lengthen the hold on the blade and screw drivers etc by opening it straight out and keeping it like that, rather than opening, pulling out the knife/screwdriver tool and closing it back up to make the grip fat.

[@notforsaletoday1895]

The version of the style with pliers and scissors was my first multitool. Still have it, and i love it.

[@christopherh2352]

I have both the Micra and the Squirt. The Micra is my favorite. I bought the Squirt first, thinking the pliers would be great to have, but realized that I use scissors more often than pliers and the scissors on the Micra are much better than the ones on the Squirt. Also, the pliers are too small to be useful for most tasks.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah... I often use big pliers where I need the full grip. All good points!

[@glockgaston2922]

Your sarcasm and paper artwork are glorious!!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thank you!

[@bobbyb3543]

Never seen any of your videos before, but you amused me greatly sir. Well done

[@KentSurvival]

for a split second at the beginning I thought id clicked on my multitool vid by accident haha.. love a mini multitool!

[@TheChosenOne0001]

R.I.P. The Leatherman Squirt, Micra and Style. All now discontinued.

[@beaupoopoo256]

Hell yeah! I blunted the end of the scissors on my micra to use as pliers for whatever I’d use tiny pliers for

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

picking up tiny things!

[@jackfarmboy]

I was just talking about these guy on another video somewhere, hmmm how handy is that. Micra for the win imo as well. Thanks for the overview.

[@dwood721]

I end up using the pliers on the Squirt as tweezers more often than pliers but the wire cutters have come in handy a lot so I stuck with it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have two squirts. Yeah the pliers are tiny enough they could work as tweezers in a pinch.

[@NewZonaRides]

Now I want to know what is in all those drawers and what is that badge for? 06:29

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The badge was my dad, and the drawers hold all of my multiools, batteries, and various parts.

[@brianreif7305]

I know you seem to prefer leatherman to victorinox, but the Vic rambler is pretty cool. Adds a combo Phillips head/bottle opener to the classic sd. I’ve found it to be durable for what it’s designed for and is the perfect size for a key ring. I’ve found the micra to be too big for my keys and too small for useful pocket carry.

[@deniznarin]

Great humor and video my man

[@zachbrobst9473]

'More better' got my sub. Great vid, dude

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's the little things!

[@RoyFernbach]

I carry both the Micra and the Rebar because Rebar has no way to get scissors on it. Thanks for the video & reviews.

[@youtubecensorshipisadownwa7611]

"Its like coke and Pepsi, but with a few more pieces of steel" Good quote If you make that into a t shirt i would actually look into buying that (Or at least have it as a wallpaper for my laptop). Regardless keep up the good work, i enjoyed the video a lot of great flow to the video.... I also enjoyed the fact you said "more better" Very happy

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

More "more better" is always... well you know...

[@Malok03]

One of the best 7 min I have wasted on YT in a loooonnng time. Well a bit more than that. I had to rewind the video a couple of times because I was cramped rofl.

[@randallkelley3599]

Couple years ago I bought a Wingman and Micra in a package deal for $20 at Home Depot!!! Killer deal...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Nice!

[@reconty2133]

Loved this review. I think I have all of those mini multi tools. I really like the Leatherman PS. When I travel that is my go to TSA friendly tool as I had to break off the knife blade on my Victorinox Manager. So pissed! I’ve flown for years and down to South America 4 times and never had a problem. But once in friggin’ Minneapolis and they make me pull it out. Oh well now I have to try and do some kind of cool mod. Great video!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have way too many multitools!

[@SnarkyPosters]

Ahhhh... the Micra. I've had one since the were $14 new, still going strong.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They love raising the prices don't they!

[@SnarkyPosters]

Yep, it was summer of 1999 I think.

[@ericwhitlow7364]

Would like the style cs for less tools and a clip. Love the video.

[@XXTT1]

Thanks for the video, I'm going with the Micra.

[@dannyt6798]

Advanced knife bro.. your reviews are awesome. I literally sit down with a beer and play your content on my off time. I appreciate your no-nonsense style of input with the pinch of humor that makes your vids worth watching. Thanks for putting in the work to post this kinda stuff. I'm in the market for a new multi-tool. I know you've spoken highly of the Leatherman Wave. $99 on Amazon with the replaceable wire cutters... worth it?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yes... on the other hand the Charge is kind of overpriced.

[@mt_baldwin]

I carry a squirt all the time and rebar when it's time to get serious (because that's the only time I wear a belt). I use the squirt pliers a lot, for picking up stuff I don't want to touch, like a dead mole my cat brought me, or getting a firm grip on something that my fingers slip off of, like a stubborn piece of duct tape or one of those hateful flat tacks stuck in a wall.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sounds like a very practical combo to me.

[@skyanakinwalker]

At first I only liked your video, but once you recognized my “black heart “ I had to subscribe 😮

[@jangounbrained]

I like both the Style, the Squirt and the smaller SAK's, but I notice that the lacking pocketclip makes me leave them at home most of the time. A carabiner is just less sleek and convinient for carry, in my eyes.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah, I use my Skeletool if I need a clipable multitool.

[@danmeehan7220]

Also if you're looking for another small multi tool to review, check out the gerber dime. I love it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'll look into it! However I have a few other Leathermans to get to.

[@WhispyWoods.]

This vid is and “oldie but a goodie”. I’ve been carrying the micra for years and really like it. I had a style but almost lost it monthly for the year or so I had it because the carabiner doesn’t stay shut on a key ring.

[@morganhamm6753]

The smallest Victorianox there is a fantastic option for someone like a teacher or a secretary or office worker. Someone who is only going to need to trim strings from their garments or open a letter for the most part.

[@timothymiller9067]

Most viewed* Biggest viewed would be my "blade length" as compared to other knives in a given selection.

[@slapt3245]

would have liked to see some cutting comparisons!

[@stefanwolf88]

Only downside I see in the Micra - you need to open it to use the beer opener. Still I gave one to my girl. My choice - alox classic (for the thinnes) + dedicated keychain beer opener from Leatherman (because I am too lazy to carry full size benchmade pro-model bottle opener). Keep the good work.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

This is true.

[@sufferingsporkotash]

Gerber Dime is really good for the money. The build quality is a lot better than you'd expect from a $15 multiool from Gerber. It also comes in purple.

[@slipknotrob666]

Umm... the Squirt Es4 that I have doesn't have tweezers... I think the tweezers were only on the "RadioShack" Leatherman Squirt E4, the one without scissors.

[@Geared84]

I keep my Style Cs on my keychain. I don't even notice it.

[@fabiantaveras8458]

I like micra but i prefer the style cs on my keychain. I use the micra in my first aid kit tho. they all serve a purpose.

[@jaydiscord7591]

Is it possible to use a swiss army ferro rod on the leather man cs tweezer area?

[@zoo2you]

What's the badge on the wall? 👀

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

My dad’s old badge from the force.

[@mrblauer1]

I own scads of tiny multitools (larger ones too) because I purchased a couple of 30# knife/multitool boxes at an auction. How many do you want? lol After seeing so many broken and bent blade tips I think every one should carry something like this to use as a pry tool.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I have most of the Leatherman line now. I have two of each of the ones in this video.

[@cavanray5327]

I have the older squirt S4, which is basically a less robust micra with the weak tweezers of the style. The 'ruler' on the file is a a joke, completely faded, and I've lost the tweezers. Being able to open the tools without having to open the scissors is handy though. 13 years of use and it still works, just looks trashed.

[@bayoujd]

Wish I had paid 25 for my style ps. I got mine after it had been discontinued and paid 75 for it. 😞

[@trentonburbank9327]

Hey Bro, can you demonstrate your mad Sharpmaker skillz on sharpening the Micra's scissors? I have both and am damn stoopid at sharpening them scizs...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Start here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXLYYpVvg5mieZIm8s

[@JA-kx6kf]

Id like to have both.. To pair with my rebar and skeletool. Great vid btw!

[@weouchhere9338]

Hey I know this is not a PM2 review but ... so I have a spyderco pm2 S30v all black... I’m thinking about getting the s110 v blurple what’s you’re thought on it bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I generally resist upgrades like this personally. You're getting a purple handle and more edge retention. If you can get a decent price for your old PM2 and only pay a little more, it's worth it I guess... just for more cuts per sharpen.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Check this out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJXVZXacocZsoJI

[@weouchhere9338]

Advanced Knife Bro yah I think I’ll just stay with my pm2 lovethat knife it’s so badass

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's an easy buy if you don't have one, but unless you already sharpen your knife often- then it probably ain't worth it.

[@bobbannon2701]

Big fan of the micra, any thoughts about the gerber dime?

[@abc456f]

Seems it's not a popular opinion, but the dime works for me. The package opener being the most useful tool. Are you listening Leatherman?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Get on it leatherman!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I haven't dabbled with Gerbers much since those days when they had those one handed opening pliers that rattled a lot. I might try out Gerbers in the future, but have had a mostly unfair bias toward them for years.

[@brutalistconcrete25]

i have the leatherman style PS which has pliers instead of scissors and the knife is replaced by a smaller set of scissors.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yep... that's the PS. Designed to be TSA friendly.

[@conductorcammon]

I prefer the little Gerber one, whatever it's called. The "clamshell opener" is fantastic. They are all Way too heavy as a keychain though.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Exactly. More like something for the glovebox or in pouch in a backpack.

[@a2xd94]

Quality is pretty subpar in various ways on the Gerber Dime.

[@happilyham6769]

Do scissors on multitools actually work? Can you do anything at all with them?

[@greeneybeaney]

You can use the needle-nose pliers of the PS4 as tweezers. They're that good.

[@xDarkPrototypex]

Since the style cs has been my longest serving "quality" tool, i feel obliged to say: STYLE CS MASTERRACE! Edit: the first sentence of the description should say "discusses" instead of "discuss"

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yay! Clip and snip!

[@jakebayuk8592]

which one has a bigger scissors?

[@hectorrivera6624]

Love the Micra but use the CS more for fishing for cutting line. Is easier to just attach the CS to your belt loop. The Micra is too nice to lose.

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

Awesome video! 😊

[@ShempBob]

Love the attitude. It's snarktacular™.

[@marshalllaw123]

The Squirt PS4 is the only Leatherman I own, and it's pretty damn great. Also, um... I like turtles.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I get my daughter to say that sometimes- but she still doesn't get why I think it's so funny.

[@pieman7]

I've been EDCing the Micra for about 19 years now. I guess that means it's pretty good. Is it Valentine's Day or something? Good review.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Naw... it's the easiest thing I could make. Also I think it's a go-to scissors shape I do in these videos sometimes.

[@ianyoung8392]

For grooming the Style wins because the tweezers actually work like real tweezers do. The MICRA needs to update the tweezers otherwise it's a wonderful, classic design. However the Style does everything the MICRA can do in a minimal package that's super functional with the built in caribiner

[@bigdawg111]

The style is one tool I use all the time while fishing...kick-ass tool.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Great for that!
