Side Slip - Narrow Lighter - Meteorite Crater
This Side Slide Narrow Lighter – Meteorite Crater Edition is a refillable fluid lighter featuring a solid brass body, right-side sliding ignition switch, and crater-inspired engraved surface, designed for users who appreciate mechanical precision, tactile operation, and vintage metal texture.
Drawing visual inspiration from meteorite impact patterns and lunar surface formations, this side slide lighter translates cosmic geometry into a functional everyday carry object. Radiating engraved lines and scattered circular depressions create a layered, three-dimensional surface that changes character with light and use. While not a scientific replica, the design emphasizes depth, material honesty, and the enduring appeal of mechanical lighters over disposable alternatives.
