Product Details
Crafted from precision-machined brass, the Single-Claw lighter is engineered for structural stability, balanced weight, and long-term durability. The brass surface is designed to age naturally, developing a distinctive patina that reflects years of use rather than wear.
Automatic single-claw ignition mechanism with exposed mechanical action
Everyday carry, mechanical lighter ritual, pipe and cigar lighting
As the first automatic lighter introduced by THORENS, the Single-Claw design reflects the brand’s early exploration of mechanical ignition systems. Its exposed structure highlights the Swiss approach to engineering—functional, precise, and intentionally visible.

This Gen 1 Single Claw Battle Mark lighter is a refillable fluid lighter crafted from solid brass, featuring THORENS’ signature single-claw mechanical ignition and a hand-carved battle-scar texture with a raised DEVIL pistol relief, designed for users who value exposed mechanics, weight, and raw industrial character.
Built around a brutal, post-conflict visual language, this model draws inspiration from battle-worn metal surfaces rather than polished luxury. The hammered body, visible tool marks, and deliberate surface damage evoke the idea of a lighter that has survived impact, friction, and time. It is not intended as a replica of any historical weapon, but as a symbolic object emphasizing toughness, ritual ignition, and mechanical presence over decorative refinement.
Key construction details:
– Refillable fluid lighter system using standard lighter fluid (kerosene-based)
– Gen 1 Single Claw firing structure with exposed mechanical action
– Solid brass body with hand-carved battle scar texture, including knife marks and hammered impressions
– Raised DEVIL gun-shaped relief with engraved slide lettering and grip details
– Mechanical flip lid engineered for a firm, tactile opening feel
This lighter is ideal for:
– Collectors of mechanical or industrial-style fluid lighters
– Users drawn to battle-scar, post-apocalyptic, or raw metal aesthetics
– Everyday carry users who prefer refillable, long-lasting brass lighters with visible mechanics
It may not be ideal if:
– You prefer jet-flame or butane torch ignition
– You want a lightweight or maintenance-free lighter
Proper care helps maintain ignition consistency and allows the brass surface to age naturally over time.

Hand-Carved Craftsmanship
Each Hand-Carved lighter begins as a solid brass body, individually hand-engraved using traditional metal engraving techniques rather than automated or laser processes.
Surface patterns are carved line by line with hand engraving gravers, with each piece requiring at least two hours of focused manual engraving.
Following engraving, each lighter is hand-finished through manual sanding, polishing, and a controlled vintage aging process to enhance depth, contrast, and tactile character.
Created exclusively within the THORENS workshop, the Hand-Carved Series reflects a Swiss-designed approach to craftsmanship where individual variation is intentionally preserved.
