Product Descriptions
This trench lighter is a refillable fluid lighter built around a solid metal construction, a distinctive piston pull mechanism, and a center flame outlet, designed for users who value mechanical interaction, weight, and old-school ignition logic.
Inspired by early trench-style lighters known for their exposed mechanics and utilitarian presence, this model emphasizes function-driven design rather than decorative complexity. It is not positioned as a historical reproduction, but as a mechanically expressive lighter that reflects the visual language of big screw and vintage trench lighter forms—robust, tactile, and deliberately non-disposable.
Key construction details:
– Fuel: naphtha-based lighter fluid
– Piston pull mechanism with a sliding action to engage the ignition system
– Reverse push grinding wheel ignition, allowing controlled mechanical engagement
– Dual-sided ignition achieved by rotating the lighter during operation
– Center flame outlet positioned in the middle section of the body
This lighter is ideal for:
– Users searching for a trench lighter or big vintage lighter with mechanical character
– Collectors interested in screw-style or piston-driven lighter mechanisms
– Everyday carry users who prefer refillable fluid lighters over disposable formats
It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer electronic, jet-flame, or butane torch lighters
– You want a lighter that operates without manual interaction or periodic maintenance
Routine refilling and basic care help maintain consistent ignition and long-term usability.

1-Year Complimentary Repair · Lifetime Warranty Support
Complimentary repair service for one year from delivery, followed by lifetime warranty support. Parts, shipping, or service fees may apply after the first year.
Eligible first-year defects are repaired or replaced free of charge, including necessary standard shipping arranged or approved by THORENS. With complete information, we aim to establish a solution within two exchanges; repair and shipping time are separate.
First-year complimentary repair service excludes normal wear (including flints, wicks and flint wheels), accidental damage, misuse, and damage caused by user disassembly or modification. Routine maintenance or disassembly does not automatically void coverage; exclusions apply only to damage caused by the relevant action.
After the first year, lifetime warranty support continues. Replacement parts are charged at the applicable parts price, and the customer is responsible for shipping. Any applicable additional service fees will be quoted and approved before work begins. Verified unrepairable products may qualify for 30% off an eligible new lighter. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.
