Leatherman Micra:

Although if I know I need pliers in a pinch I'll swap out to a squirt.
The leatherman micra is the only really small knife I've found that is worth having. Everything else that small that I've used was pretty lousy.
Wouldn't something like a razor knife with replaceable blades be better for your use? Use one of those for opening chemicals, and keep a good knife for other things.
What are the holes in the blade for?
If "everyday" is one word, shouldn't it be "EC"?EDC is everyday carry
..
OK, there is absolutely no logic here.
The micra isnt a knife, its a multitool. It HAS a knife. Are you saying the knife on it is the only small one worth having? Cuz in reality its a piece of shit.
If you want a small tool with a decent knife try the Sog Cross Cut.
If you want a small knife try the Spyderco bug series.

A razor knife or box blade is almost too sharp to cut tops out of bottles and stuff, and that's not all I use it for... but it's out and opened probably 15 times a day.
I suppose it makes it lighter... the handle is Kydex (I think) and the whole thing is very light (compared to a typical solid-blade wood handle lockback.) I don't really care about that, but the cutouts allow me to hook my thumb into it and flick it open with one hand.
I have another version out at my in-laws in Nevada that is a completely skeletonized version of it (with metal handle same blade but I don't like it as much.
Here is what my Gerbers look like after about 3 months. Notice the pits in the edge of the blade... that's what muriatic acid and salt do.

If you routinely destroy your knives with acid why not get one with a ceramic blade.
