SOG Peyton Automatic Knife PVD D2 Hawkbill/Gray G-10 SOG-15-04-02-43

Built for aggressive cutting performance and dependable automatic action, the SOG Peyton Automatic Knife delivers modern tactical capability in a bold, hardworking design. New for 2026, this out-the-side automatic combines durable materials, fast deployment, and a blade shape built to handle demanding everyday cutting tasks.

At the center of the Peyton is a 3.36" Hawkbill blade crafted from Cryo D2 tool steel. D2 has earned a strong reputation for its impressive edge retention and toughness, making it a trusted choice for users who rely on their knife day after day. The cryogenic treatment further enhances the steel’s strength and wear resistance, helping the blade maintain a sharp working edge through repeated use. Its Hawkbill profile excels at controlled slicing and pull cuts, making it particularly effective when cutting rope, webbing, packaging, and other fibrous materials.

The blade is finished with a durable black PVD coating that adds corrosion resistance while giving the knife a low-profile tactical appearance. This rugged coating also helps reduce glare during use and adds to the blade’s overall durability. A thumb hole in the blade adds distinctive styling while also offering an additional manual opening option when needed.

Deployment is fast and confident thanks to the knife’s out-the-side automatic mechanism. A thumb slide quickly fires the blade open and locks it securely into place, providing immediate access to a ready-to-work edge. The action is designed for dependable performance while maintaining the solid feel expected from a hardworking automatic knife.

The handle features gray G-10 scales that provide outstanding durability and grip. G-10 is widely used in tactical knives because it’s lightweight, strong, and highly resistant to moisture and wear. The textured surface ensures a secure hold in challenging conditions, while a stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife readily accessible for everyday carry.

Measuring 5.45" closed and weighing 5.9 ounces, the Peyton offers a sturdy, confidence-inspiring feel while remaining comfortable to carry throughout the day.
