THORENS
Side Slip - Crisp Sound - Onyx Blocks
This Side Slip Crisp Sound lighter is a refillable fluid lighter featuring a full-body electroplated black mirror finish, a precision side-slip ignition structure, and a three-dimensional onyx block–inspired surface pattern, designed for users who appreciate mechanical tactility, geometric design, and collectible-grade craftsmanship.
Defined by its bold grid-like exterior, this model draws visual inspiration from architectural block patterns often associated with modern luxury lighters and sculptural industrial design. The repeating square geometry creates a strong light-and-shadow contrast across the surface, while the engraved THORENS logo is seamlessly integrated into the upper panel. Although contemporary in form, the overall construction emphasizes weight, precision, and tactile feedback rather than disposable convenience.
Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid lighter system with cotton wick (fluid lighter)
– Precision side-slip ignition roller with micro-cut textured surface
– Full-body electroplated black mirror finish with three-dimensional square block pattern
– Engraved THORENS logo embedded into the upper faceplate
– Mechanical lid structure engineered to produce a crisp metal “ping” sound upon opening, generated by the internal spring mechanism
This lighter is ideal for:
– Users searching for luxury lighters as gifts with strong visual presence
– Collectors interested in block-pattern or onyx-style lighter designs
– Everyday carry users who prefer refillable fluid lighters with solid weight and tactile feedback
It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer jet-flame or butane torch lighters
– You want a completely maintenance-free ignition tool
Proper care helps ensure consistent ignition performance and preserves the electroplated surface over time.
