Jaws
The plier jaws are relatively thin, but adequate for such a small tool. Jaws are spring-loaded by means of a hidden spring around the pivot. There are fine serrations near the tips, a gripping area below that, and a small wire cutter area near the pivot.Handles/Frame
The main frame of the handle is a channel of stainless steel. On each side are scales of anodized aluminum. The Clutch was primarily produced in two colors, Red Tail Hawk and Special Ops Gray. Lightening holes pass through 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.
