This Gen-5 Single Claw Storm Silver is a refillable fluid lighter built around a signature single-claw mechanical ignition, featuring a mirror-polished electroplated silver finish, branded flint wheel detailing, and a solid, ritual-driven opening action designed for users who value exposed mechanics and tactile precision.

Rooted in THORENS’ mechanical lighter heritage, the Single Claw design emphasizes structure, motion, and visual clarity. Upon opening the lid, the claw engages the flint wheel in a direct, deliberate movement, producing a vivid spark and revealing the internal mechanism. The overall design balances vintage character with modern refinement, focusing on weight, material presence, and the satisfaction of a clearly defined ignition ritual.

Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid system using lighter fluid (kerosene)
– Single Claw mechanical structure for crisp, precise spark generation
– Branded flint wheel engraved with the “THORENS” logo inside the lid
– Electroplated silver surface with mirror-like gloss and smooth hand feel
– Integrated windproof shield at the ignition outlet for improved outdoor usability
– Circular embossed emblem reading “THORENS SWISS BRAND” centered on the body

This lighter is ideal for:
– Users who appreciate mechanical ignition systems with visible structure
– Collectors drawn to THORENS single-claw designs and Swiss brand heritage
– Everyday carry users seeking a refillable, long-lasting fluid lighter with a balanced vintage-modern aesthetic

It may not be ideal if:
