## Overview

This Vintage Lighter features a high-quality metal body and a unique cotton rope ignition system that requires no kerosene or gas. Lightweight at 37.3g, it produces a windproof ember by striking a flint wheel, making it perfect for camping and outdoor use. Its flame-free design offers a covert, reliable fire-starting method inspired by WWII rope lighters, combining rugged durability with timeless retro style.

## 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to strike the attached flint wheel to create sparks, which are caught on a charred cotton rope, that has been partially withdrawn from a metal tube housing.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: It fired right up 🔥 😀👍🏼🔥(pun intended)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I was VERY skeptical about a fire source like this without some sort of fluid/combustable but I was extremely surprised! Opened the box, pulled a little of rope out, used my BIC lighter to give the initial burn. Left it lit 🔥 for about 10 seconds , pulled the rope down to smother out the flame, and then tried it on its own and BOOM. I lit 🔥 a cigar with it, zero problems. Everyone should have one of these laying around. It could really come in handy. Remember Tom Hanks in Castaway, rubbing sticks together? I easily give this 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This brass will last for a lifetime and the only thing you would need much later on is a new flint, but I add a flint to my zippo maybe twice in a year (under daily use), and this rope is super long. Definitely add this to cart. It would be a sweet stocking stuffer around the holidays, or just a “thinking of you” gift. We ❤️ It. 🔥
Review: YES! Quality Item - Great Sparks -Works! Go Dolphin! - Loving Dolphin products. This rope lighter works like it is supposed to. Spark wheel is aggressive, throws good sparks, and is the correct distance from the wick to set the ember. I have some history and experience with these. I have a few antique versions. SOME new ones you buy online, they couldn't have ever tested, pitiful garbage. These ( Dolphin brand) actually work. Also big kudos for their stand alone spark wheels. I ended up buying 8 or so of those for kits. My only complaint is that Dolphin brand doesn't seem to emboss or otherwise mark their products. If you squint at the depiction you can see "Dolphin" on the lighter. That is not on my lighter or spark wheels but is stated as such on the packaging. Go mighty Dolphin!

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.
- Note:With a new rope lighter, burn the end of the rope before using it with the flint. The end must be blackened for the spark to catch.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Nice Lighter
*by T***S on November 27, 2021*

This is a nice lighter. It'll last for years and years. My one gripe: It's not great for indoor use. It throws sparks and embers. But that's fine, I now have an excellent outdoor lighter that I know will work even in windy weather. Definitely taking this with me next time I go camping or spend some time outdoors.
