The Micra is a nice bit of kit. Got one myself.

It adorned my car keys for many years before I retired it for something else and bar the SAK scissors, they're still the best set of scissors I've encountered on any multi-tool knife in all my years.

I have a couple of multi tools including a Leatherman, but one of them has a locking blade so it stays in a drawer these days. This is a pity really - a pity that the law was drafted as it is with an absolute prohibition unless you can prove you have the item for a lawful and needful purpose at the particular time you have it with you or in your car boot. This is ridiculous. They should be looking at who it is that is carrying a small, locking blade. I deeply resent the fact that I am a criminal if I have a multi tool that locks a blade in my car tools under the jack and screwdrivers. Ridiculous! I never did anyone any harm in my life and I have not the slightest intention of it, but I am still banned from having a tool of an ordinary sort because some vile specimens in mostly our capital city run around stabbing people as a pass time. They are easily identifiable as criminals from other signs like hoods in fair weather, face coverings and general foul and aggressive demeanor. It is them the police should be chasing and forbidding from having knives - not me.
The UK Parliament keeps on banning things for everyone. So the decent folk shrug and comply resignedly, banned from one more ordinary thing, like a multi tool with a locking blade, designed and meant as a tool, and used only as a tool, and the very people the politicians wanted to control just ignore the law and carry on in their merry mayhem ways, with knives and knuckle dusters, and machetes, and guns of all sorts. Nothing is improved by this, but the politicians just keep on banning stuff.
Bad law and our politicians have turned this country into a laughing stock, and things just get worse and worse as time goes by.
The 1920 firearms act was not passed because there was a serious gun crime problem. It was passed because some politicians looked at the angry disgruntled millions of men after WW1, returning to a pretty sh it country and they feared that men with grievances who were familiar with firearms from the war, might just start a revolution. This had not been helped by revolt in Ireland of course. So suddenly, what had been available with no restriction and not a massive problem, was completely banned unless you jumped through hoops.
