This handmade cowhide lighter is a refillable fluid lighter featuring a leather-wrapped body, a decorative mechanical dial with exposed gear elements, and wind-resistant flame vents, designed for users who appreciate tactile materials and visible mechanical detail.

Combining natural leather texture with industrial visual elements, this lighter presents a distinctive contrast between organic material and mechanical form. The cowhide-wrapped exterior offers a warm, gripped feel, while the centrally positioned metal dial reveals gears and structural components as a purely decorative feature, emphasizing craftsmanship rather than functionality.

Key construction details:
– Leather-wrapped body providing refined texture and classic visual character
– Decorative mechanical dial with visible gears and internal structural elements
– Central metal dial engraved with the “THORENS” logo for brand identification
– Wind-resistant flame outlet with vented openings to reduce flame disruption in light breeze conditions

This lighter is ideal for:
– Users searching for a unique lighter with visible mechanical design elements
– Collectors interested in handmade-style lighters with mixed material aesthetics
– Everyday carry users who prefer refillable fluid lighters with tactile surfaces

It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer minimalist designs without decorative mechanical elements
– You are looking for a jet-flame or butane-based lighter

Proper care helps preserve the leather surface and maintain consistent ignition performance over time.
