Gen 2 - Double Claw - Engraved Koi

This Double Claw lighter is a refillable soft flame fluid lighter built with a solid brass body, automatic ignition driven by a Double Claw mechanical linkage, a polished brass surface, koi fish engraving on both sides, and an independent serial number engraved on the bottom. It is designed for users who appreciate THORENS’ Swiss mechanical lighter heritage, everyday carry use, and collectible mechanical details.

The Double Claw mechanism is activated when the lid opens, with two claws precisely engaging the flint wheel to generate a bright, controlled spark and ignite the soft flame. Through motion, sound, and tactile feedback, it delivers a crisp ignition feel and a stronger sense of ritual than standard pocket lighters.

The lighter presents a vintage ornamental style rather than a modern minimalist look. Both sides feature koi fish engraving, with flowing lines, layered scales, wave details, and botanical patterns creating a strong sense of depth and movement. The polished brass surface enhances the engraved contrast and will gradually develop natural brass patina and surface character through handling and long term use.

Key construction details:
Refillable fluid lighter system for long term use
Automatic ignition driven by the Double Claw mechanical linkage
Solid brass body construction with substantial hand feel
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 who prefer vintage brass fluid lighters with real mechanical action
Everyday carry users who value weight, balance, and soft flame ignition
Collectors interested in Double Claw lighters, engraved koi motifs, and mechanical linkage details
Buyers looking for a refined mechanical lighter, collectible lighter, or distinctive gift for men

It may not be ideal if:
You prefer butane torch or jet flame lighters
You want a disposable or fully maintenance free lighter
You expect a perfectly untouched surface with no natural brass aging marks

Because this lighter uses a polished brass surface, it may develop oxidation patterns from regular handling and daily use. Light age related hairlines, small surface marks, and natural brass character are part of the material behavior and are not considered defects. This piece is not recommended for perfectionists who expect a completely flawless finish.

Regular refilling, flint replacement, and routine surface care help support consistent ignition performance while preserving the engraved brass surface, Double Claw mechanical linkage, and natural brass character over time.
