Product Descriptions
This THORENS Earth Fissure Single Claw lighter is a vintage soft flame brass fluid lighter featuring automatic ignition, a refillable fluid system, Safety Lock design, a solid brass body, a distinctive Single Claw mechanical structure, and a hand-engraved aged brass surface inspired by fissure-like patterns. It is made for users who appreciate Swiss mechanical lighter design, visible ignition movement, collectible hand engraving, and a more tactile everyday carry experience.
Built around the Single Claw mechanical structure, this lighter is activated when the lid is opened, allowing the single claw to precisely engage the flint wheel, create a vivid burst of sparks, and ignite the soft flame. After ignition, the internal mechanism remains visible, presenting the mechanical ignition process through motion, crisp sound, and controlled resistance rather than convenience-driven design.
Each Hand-Carved lighter begins with a solid brass body and is individually hand-engraved using traditional metal engraving tools rather than automated or laser engraving. The surface pattern is carved line by line with hand engraving gravers, with each piece requiring at least two hours of focused manual engraving. After engraving, each lighter is manually sanded, polished, and finished through a controlled vintage aging process to create deeper contrast, clearer surface texture, and subtle variation from piece to piece.
Key construction details:
- Refillable fluid lighter system for long-term use
- Automatic ignition driven by the Single Claw mechanical structure
- Solid brass body with individually hand-engraved fissure-like surface pattern
- Safety Lock screw can be tightened to help prevent accidental opening during carry
- Fuel screw with built-in spare flint storage compartment
This lighter is suitable for:
- Users looking for a vintage soft flame brass fluid lighter with strong mechanical character
- Collectors interested in a Swiss mechanical lighter, Single Claw design, or hand-engraved mechanical lighter collectible
- Everyday carry users who prefer a refillable EDC lighter with solid brass weight, tactile feedback, and visible ignition movement
- Buyers seeking a premium gift for men, gift for husband, luxury collectible lighter, or distinctive hand-engraved lighter
It may not be ideal if:
- You prefer butane jet-flame or torch-style lighters
- You want a disposable or maintenance-free lighter
- You prefer a perfectly uniform machine-finished surface instead of hand engraving, aged finishing, and individual surface variation
Proper refilling, flint replacement, and routine care help maintain reliable ignition performance while preserving the lighter’s hand-engraved surface pattern, aged brass finish, and collectible mechanical character over time.

1-Year Complimentary Repair · Lifetime Warranty Support
Complimentary repair service for one year from delivery, followed by lifetime warranty support. Parts, shipping, or service fees may apply after the first year.
Eligible first-year defects are repaired or replaced free of charge, including necessary standard shipping arranged or approved by THORENS. With complete information, we aim to establish a solution within two exchanges; repair and shipping time are separate.
First-year complimentary repair service excludes normal wear (including flints, wicks and flint wheels), accidental damage, misuse, and damage caused by user disassembly or modification. Routine maintenance or disassembly does not automatically void coverage; exclusions apply only to damage caused by the relevant action.
After the first year, lifetime warranty support continues. Replacement parts are charged at the applicable parts price, and the customer is responsible for shipping. Any applicable additional service fees will be quoted and approved before work begins. Verified unrepairable products may qualify for 30% off an eligible new lighter. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Hand-Carved Craftsmanship
Each Hand-Carved lighter begins as a solid brass body, individually hand-engraved using traditional metal engraving techniques rather than automated or laser processes.
Surface patterns are carved line by line with hand engraving gravers, with each piece requiring at least two hours of focused manual engraving.
Following engraving, each lighter is hand-finished through manual sanding, polishing, and a controlled vintage aging process to enhance depth, contrast, and tactile character.
Created exclusively within the THORENS workshop, the Hand-Carved Series reflects a Swiss-designed approach to craftsmanship where individual variation is intentionally preserved.

**** UPDATED to 5 star****
UPDATE: THORENS Customer Service Team has replaced the lighter, and stood by their customer service and quality of products! Things that I did not mention in original post, was the this is a great quality product and will last Generations. I’m not kidding, it’s made out of steel that is bronze/brass electroplated to look like brass. I like that it seals nicely when it retracts back into th closed position. It makes it where the Zippo lighter fluid doesn’t evaporate for some time..
Again, this lighter is made extremely well and rugged. As stated above, it is made out of steel, it’s just brass electroplated. When you hold it in your hand and use it, you know that this rugged lighter will last for generations after we are no longer here.
It is also very hard for the wind to blow this flame out. I live in Kansas and it is very well known that in Kansas it has on average wind speed of 25 to 30 or 35 mph almost daily. Even my zippo‘s have a harder time staying lit than this one does. It just works really reliable every time. So buy it and you will be very happy.
I tried deleting the below first posting since they took care of me. But the system won’t allow me to.
(Original post) Damaged with RUST!!! That is how it arrived!!!
Battle Soul Glossy, complete with RUST!!! That’s right I said it has rust, meaning there is rust inside the area where the flint goes, and yes the flint spring is rusted too!!! So somehow at the factory it was in water??and then not taken out of sales stock!
Does the lighter work? Yes, for now until the flint spring breaks from rust! And rust eats through the flint housing!!
Another thing is that they claim awesome customer service, well that makes you think when you buy their products they stand by it, BUT on my profile area on the order when it is time for review from customer LONG after receiving the item, It States “NO ITEMS IN THIS ORDER ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RETURNS”. HUM, is that because they knowingly sent me a Defective product??? That wasn’t in the sales description!!
On the website on this item it says delivery to the United States is 4 business days!!! Another lie! I ordered it on July 1st, 2026. By July 7th, it still had not shipped, I had to contact them to tell them to send me the items I ordered. They then apologized for that and shipped same day. I didn’t even receive it until July 17th, 2026!
I wonder if this was a returned item due to rust??? But they then sent it to me!!
What I want is for them to send me a NEW ONE WITHOUT DEFECTS! And sent and received in 4 days as says on website!!! if they want the defect back then they can pay for the return shipping too. And no it isn’t acceptable for them to ask for me to send them back for repairs and then they send it back afterwards…NO they need to make it right by sending me a new one first!

He loves the lighter. Only reason for 4 stars is because the bottom of the lighter has scuff marks and discoloration.

Briquet, ou plutôt petite œuvre d'art, en tous points conforme avec les photos du site. Un bon poids en main, signe dans le cas présent d'une grande qualité. Matériaux noble, finitions extrêmes, utilisation sans le moindre souci ! Un réel très grand plaisir que de commencer cette collection de briquets Thorens ! En acheter un seul me paraît impossible tellement on est agréablement surpris par la qualité par rapport au prix !!! Hubert.

I've been wanting a trench lighter for years and discovered Thoren's. So much value for the money! I love the heft and solid construction. I've started campfires, smoking pipe, incense, etc. Just bought one for my son

To be honest, I half expected these to be cheap and flimsy, but they are far from it. Im definitely happy with my order. They seem sturdy, the tiny welds are immaculate, and the patina on the brass really adds character. The shipping took a while, but not outside of the realm of acceptable for a shipment from china to canada. I will absolutely be ordering again when i decide to grow my collection.

The lighter itself was as expected, however the packaging was disappointing . I expected it to show up in a quality box as this was a gift however it showed up in a crushed red factory sealed box with the contents loose inside, a single piece of bubble wrap it’s only protection for its journey. I would be put off buying any more lighters from this company until international packaging is improved.
