Score 8.3 / 10
Average of substance, design, and value.
The 7 mm lacquered metal body delivers genuinely uncommon pocket engineering and a broad flat torch flame. Tiny fuel capacity and a documented regulation failure make the $295 price difficult to defend.
$295 typical
Thin metal engineering and broad flame explain some premium; independent review says cheaper lighters can perform similarly.
Creates the 7 mm metal shell.
Broad flat flame.
Ordinary fuel, small capacity.
Compared with 4 other products in edition 2.
This product: 9 out of 10
Exceptional 7 mm profile and unusual W-shaped flame; side squeeze is comfortable but finish needs protection.
Initial use was strong, then a flame-regulation failure required service; longevity is not demonstrated.
