This Gen 2 Double Claw lighter is a refillable soft flame fluid lighter built with a solid brass body, a THORENS Double Claw automatic ignition mechanism, an electroplated polished gold tone finish, deep blue vertical stripe detailing, and an independent serial number engraved on the bottom. It is designed for users who value exposed mechanics, tactile operation, and long term everyday carry reliability.

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.

The design centers on warm contrast and surface depth. The electroplated polished gold tone body catches light with a refined vintage glow, while the deep blue vertical stripes add a calm, rich accent across the front and lid. The stripe detailing appears recessed into the metal surface, giving the lighter a more dimensional feel instead of a flat decorative look. The result is elegant without feeling flashy, combining classic gold warmth with a darker blue tone that gives the piece a more collectible THORENS character.

• Refillable fluid lighter system for long term use
