Jaws
The scissor jaws on the Shortcut are spring-loaded by means of a hidden spring around the pivot. (As opposed to the backspring mechanism used on the Leatherman Micra)Handles/Frame
The main frame of the handle is a channel of stainless steel. On each side there are scales of anodized aluminum. The Shortcut was primarily produced in two colors, Red Tail Hawk and Special Ops Gray. Lightening holes were added to the aluminum scales.Depending upon which blade was housed in it, one handle channel was stamped along the spine with the word BLADE while the other was stamped NAIL FILE, as a quick reference.
