This handmade cowhide–wrapped lighter is a refillable fluid lighter featuring a solid metal body, leather inlay construction, and a decorative mechanical dial centerpiece, designed for users who appreciate tactile materials, visible craftsmanship, and classic mechanical aesthetics.

Combining traditional lighter construction with natural leather finishing, this model emphasizes texture, weight, and visual depth. The genuine cowhide wrap introduces warmth and grip, while the central metal dial reveals an intricate arrangement of gears and levers beneath a protective surface. Although the mechanical elements are non-functional, they serve as a visual tribute to precision engineering and handcrafted detail, reinforcing the object’s collectible character rather than disposable utility.

Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid system using lighter fluid (kerosene)
– Genuine cowhide leather–wrapped body for enhanced grip and classic texture
– Decorative mechanical dial showcasing visible gears and internal structures
– Engraved “THORENS” branding integrated into the metal dial
– Wind-resistant flame outlet with ventilation holes for stable ignition in light breezes

This lighter is ideal for:
– Users who prefer refillable fluid lighters with traditional ignition behavior
– Collectors drawn to leather-wrapped or mechanically styled lighters
– Everyday carry users who value material character and long-term use over disposability

It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer butane jet-flame or torch-style lighters
– You are looking for a maintenance-free, non-refillable option

Proper refilling and occasional wick adjustment help maintain consistent ignition and preserve both the leather surface and internal structure over time.
