This THORENS steampunk style Double Claw lighter is a refillable soft flame fluid lighter built with a solid brass body, automatic ignition driven by a Double Claw mechanical linkage, a gear inspired industrial exterior, a Safety Lock screw, and an independent serial number engraved on the bottom. It is designed for users who appreciate vintage mechanical character, tactile ignition feedback, and collectible steampunk detailing.

The Double Claw mechanism is activated when the lid opens, with two claws precisely engaging the flint wheel to generate a clean spark and ignite the soft flame. Through motion, sound, and tactile feedback, it delivers a crisp ignition feel with more mechanical character than standard pocket lighters.

Built around the Double Claw mechanical structure, this lighter adds a dense steampunk visual language through gear inspired decorative elements, visible rivets, copper tone tubes, spring details, bolts, and drilled metal accents. The dark antiqued finish gives the surface an aged industrial presence, while the layered gear style detailing creates strong visual depth without changing the lighter’s core automatic ignition structure.

Key construction details:
• Refillable fluid lighter system for long term use
• Automatic ignition driven by the Double Claw mechanical linkage
• Solid brass body construction with substantial hand feel
• Safety Lock screw can be tightened to help prevent accidental opening during carry
