## Overview

The Vintage Lighter Retro Trench Rattlesnake Rope Velvet Metal Lighter is a compact, eco-friendly fire starter designed for outdoor enthusiasts. Weighing only 37.3 grams, this stylish silver lighter requires no kerosene or gas, making it perfect for camping and wilderness activities. Its windproof design ensures reliable ignition in any weather, while the vintage aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to your gear.

## Description

This lighter has been known by other names such as “shepherds’ lighter” or “rope lighter”. What makes it unique is that conventional fuel is not needed, and there is no flame. The method of operation is to strike the attached flint wheel to create sparks, which are caught on a charred cotton rope, that has been partially withdrawn from a metal tube housing. This was typically used for lighting cigarettes which does not require a flame to accomplish. Once an ember is generated, it is windproof, and is extinguished by retracting the cord back inside the tube and an attached lid snuffs it out. This flame-less feature made it somewhat covert and was often used during WWII. The windproof feature is also advantageous and was useful to shepherds who were out in the windy field while watching their flocks. It is an easy way to create a live ember, when, combined with tinder, can be coaxed into a flame for starting campfires.

Review: Amazing thing here - I've never needed to use it yet, But I keep it on hand for an emergency or camping. It's pretty amazing how well this little thing works.
Review: works good, well made - one or two strikes and the charred end of the rope is an ember suitable to start tinder or light a cigarette. Pulling back on the cord closes the cap and extinguishes the ember, preserving the char for the next light. great item for fire starting that never runs out of batteries or fuel (the cord will last for your lifetime most likely).

Once an ember is generated, it is windproof, and is extinguished by retracting the cord back inside the tube and an attached lid snuffs it out.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I see where you offer replacement ropes.  but i don't see replacement flints.  do you also offer replacement flints?  thanks**
A: Hi,please check this ASIN (B07PBHXSQG) for replacement rope, but the replacement flints is not available so far.Sorry

**Q: Would any kind of rope work to refill?**
A: Any kind of rope would not work. You need cotton rope, which is very easy to get (and fairly cheap). The dimension of the rope should be the same as the inner part of the cylinder, but you might be able to use a smaller dimension if you block the air with you finger at the bottom part where air would be able to get though (to choke the flame).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for novelty but not daily life
*by S***T on July 14, 2021*

I like this product because it is interesting and functional, but I wouldn't recommend it as practical. There is just better stuff out there. It is a pretty specialized thing. I can get a fire going with this and imagine it would be great for cigarettes, but unless you're looking to have fun with it, it isn't very practical for what a match will do just fine. You COULD light a candle with it, but you'll burn a lot of rope and the smell irritates more people than it pleases. I have bought a few of these and love playing with them, but I still carry a modern windproof lighter if I need fire.
