Not for perfectionists: Authentic surface marks are not considered defects
This Gen-7 Single Claw TELEFLAM lighter is a refillable fluid lighter crafted from solid brass, featuring THORENS’ signature single-claw mechanical structure and TELEFLAM rocker ignition system, designed for users who value exposed mechanics, tactile ignition, and authentic material aging.
Built around the philosophy of mechanical honesty, this model emphasizes visible structure and physical interaction over surface perfection. The untreated glossy brass body is intentionally left without electroplating, allowing natural oxidation and hairline marks to develop through use. Rather than remaining static, the lighter evolves with its owner, reinforcing a sense of ritual, weight, and long-term companionship.
Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid system using standard lighter fluid (kerosene-based)
– TELEFLAM rocker ignition tube paired with single-claw flint mechanism for vivid spark generation
– Solid brass body with untreated glossy brass surface
– Mechanical lid and exposed linkage creating a distinct ignition ritual
– Natural oxidation and light surface hairlines developed through handling
This lighter is ideal for:
– Users who appreciate mechanical lighters with visible moving parts
– Collectors drawn to solid brass objects that age naturally over time
– Everyday carry users who prefer refillable, long-term fluid lighters over disposable options
It may not be ideal if:
– You require a flawless, scratch-free surface finish
– You prefer butane or jet-flame lighters with minimal upkeep
Proper care helps ensure consistent ignition performance and allows the brass surface to age evenly over time.
