Interested depending on price
Interested, even though I am a passionate non-smoker. :-D
I’d be surprised if Barry followed through with this. He never followed through with a white/red light version of the LT1. I’ve had good luck with my 3/4” ferro rod and fatwood. Also carry waterproof match sticks as a backup. Striker flints on lighters don’t work when they get wet
It will be o-ring sealed so no chance of flint getting wet.
Well… if Barry and Sofirn don’t go trough with it, there are other manufacturers. BLF is probably not the best place for interest topic for camping stuff but I tought I’d try anyway.
Mraz keep us updated please. Also recommend any particular camping survival sites especially of interest?
I believe this is in the works. I’ve seen a completed layout of the board with 7135s for the red channel. No idea when it’ll be released but I expect it will come.
Will do.
Not really, I buy from Lamnia, Varusteleka, local shops… sometimes from Going Gear and Knife Kits but shipping and import taxes are ridiculous.
How would it spark if o-ring sealed? it has to be exposed to the wheel striker, which has to be exposed to the gas or wick.
Sure, it’s exposed when you take of the top cap but until then it’s waterproof.

Barry does not personally decide what can/will be designed and manufactured by Sofirn. Potential market/customers is one thing, but huge issues in supply chains this past year has been an even bigger impact.
Sounds like my buddies in the town I grew up in. Yea… CT , Just not those rich bastards down by NYC, has more similarities to the fly over then most people would care to admit.
Ok, back on topic. Just never thought I’d see a Dana 60 reference on this forum lol.
I’d certainly be interested. So far my favourite petrol lighter is the Douglass Field S, and the one in the Douglass Neo range with the caps on both wick and flint wheel. The Field S has a wind guard, is machined beautifully with o- rings everywhere, but expensive and therefore out of most peoples budget. Something smaller and cheaper incorporation your criteria is definitely worth looking into.
I take it you’re a U.K. member too? I still call it camping. 
Oh yes, the Field S is a beautyful peace od machining, especially the brass one. Don’t know what were they thinking with camo versions. Yuck.
Close but no cigar. I’m from Croatia
Unfortunately, this thread is not really getting the attention it needs to make the lighter happen but at least I tried. Would probably be better with a finished design but I don’t really have the time to learn 3D modeling right now.
Well, it is a light forum, but more led, tints etc than lighters. Compliments to you, both for your excellent English and punting a decent idea. Stay with it and keep us posted, lot of bored folk around at the moment on forums in general so don’t take it to heart.
Sofirn can make the tooling and the product would be of good quality, I’m fairly sure of that, but you do need a definite design to take to them. I (personally) wouldn’t discuss possibilities or ask Chinese manufacturers for their input, and this is definitely no slur on Sofirn, it’s just business and they’re better than most as they recognise ongoing market sales and do help build ideas. But I’ve seen this happen with knives, vapes, lights only for a very similar product to appear shortly afterwards.
For you, some brass goodness.
Really nice!
where did you get those lighters RichH?
looks cool
Thank you, sir.
I know and I’ll probably learn 3D modeling just to make it. Nothing wrong in learning new things.
I love brass for the same reason I live my blades to be carbon steel - they age with you, show character. Something special about them.
Tokyo Pipe Company, they have an ebay shop, excellent to deal with.
Field S is very cool.
