This Gen-1 Single Claw lighter is a refillable fluid lighter featuring a solid brass body, exposed single-claw mechanical ignition, and precision geometric engraving, designed for users who value visible mechanics, tactile ritual, and long-term use over disposable convenience.

Defined by a carefully structured geometric surface, this model combines interlocking squares and finely milled parallel lines to create a layered, architectural visual rhythm. The design emphasizes order, balance, and depth, allowing light to interact differently across each engraved section. Rather than decorative excess, the engraving reinforces the mechanical character of the lighter and highlights its solid metal construction.

Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid lighter system with cotton wick
– Exposed single-claw mechanical ignition that activates upon lid opening
– Solid brass body with high-polish silver-tone finish
– Precision geometric engraving combining squares and linear textures
– Branded “THORENS” flint wheel visible inside the lid

This lighter is ideal for:
– Collectors of mechanical or visibly engineered lighters
– Users drawn to geometric, industrial, or architectural design language
– Everyday carry users who prefer refillable, long-lasting fluid lighters

It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer jet-flame or butane torch lighters
– You want a completely maintenance-free lighter

Proper care helps ensure consistent ignition performance and preserves the engraved surface over time.
