Jaws
Like many SOG tools, the CrossCut featured SOG's patented compound leverage technology. However, unlike any other SOG tool before or after it, the CrossCut featured scissor jaws, rather than plier jaws. Combined with its compound leverage, the Crosscut could cut much tougher materials than its closest competitors, the Leatherman
Micra and Gerber's revolving line of scissor based tools, such as the
Shortcut. The CrossCut's jaws are spring loaded, with an internal torsion spring underneath the gears.
Handles/Frame
The CrossCut's frame resembles a scaled down
PowerPlier, complete with SOG's classic exposed gears.

Variations
Unlike many of SOG's other tools, the CrossCut did not see any changes through it's production life (not counting the
CrossCut 2.0). The only variations of this tool are the finishes available from SOG.
- CC50, in a standard stainless steel finish
- T50, a standard CrossCut, but with a gold TiNi finish
Background
The exact release date of this tool is unknown, but likely falls after Leatherman's introduction of the
Micra in 1996. The earliest known mention of the CrossCut appears in the November 1998 issue of Boy's Life magazine, that year the likely introduction date of this tool, and it's sister tool, the
CrossGrip. The CrossCut was eventually replaced by the
CrossCut 2.0 after SOG moved production to China.
The CrossCut has a sister tool based on the same frame, called the
CrossGrip. It was replaced by the
CrossCut 2.0 in
