Leatherman Micra (Slate)

Leatherman Micra (Slate) – Compact Reliability for SERE

When every gram and every tool counts, the Leatherman Micra proves its worth in survival and evasion situations. At just 51 grams, this ultra-compact multitool carries an array of essential functions without weighing you down—a critical advantage when speed, mobility, and concealment are paramount.

Despite its small size, the Micra houses ten useful tools, including scissors, a sharp blade, tweezers, screwdrivers, and a nail file. In a SERE environment, these become far more than convenience items:

• Precision scissors and blade for cutting fishing line, fabric, or makeshift snares.
• Tweezers for removing splinters or ticks in the field to maintain mobility.
• Flat screwdrivers adaptable for opening ration tins, prying, or light equipment repairs.
• Nail file/cleaner that doubles as an improvised striker or for hygiene—keeping infection at bay when medical help isn’t an option.

The slate finish adds a discreet, non-reflective surface, reducing visual signature and making it easier to keep concealed if captured. Its small size allows it to be hidden in clothing seams, survival kits, or even carried unnoticed on a keychain.
