The AL-FS is a rugged, yet lightweight, compact, capsule type, survival lighter for starting campfires. Precision milled from T6061 aircraft grade aluminum billet. This capsule lighter features a classic industrial knurled texture on the surface, making it easier to securely to grasp in cold and wet conditions. An essential EDC lighter for your firemaking and survival needs. Available in an anodized blue finish for visual recognition and identification. This compact, refillable fire starter is well suited in any backpack, survival kit or key chain. In addition to the anodized lightweight T6061 billet casing, this capsule lighter stands apart with the knurled finish for better grip when wet, weather resistance, extra spare parts, and comes packed in a reusable survival tin. With an overall size of 1.875” X 0.625”, this rugged, small yet capable fire starter can easily be a part of any user’s essential EDC, especially for those who enjoy time in the wilderness and backcountry. A small, pocketable, personal fire starter or lighter, that uses lighter fluid, ignited by a wheel, flint and wick has been a staple part of an individual’s field kit since the ones issued or privately purchased since WWI. Most anyone understands the fundamental importance of starting a fire when in the field and in a wilderness survival scenario. While we are also strong proponents of being proficient in starting fires with other methods and/or tools such as the ferro rod to drill bow, having an easily accessible, reliable and durable lighter is indispensable and much more expedient in starting a life saving fire. There’s a good array of capsule lighters on the market, but PDW saw an opportunity to create one precision made with one of the lightest metals available, enduring quality, and at a value.

Christopher T. ★★★★★

Took this on a three-day camping trip and the T6061 aluminum body feels bombproof in hand, yet it's light enough to forget it's in my pocket. The clasp stayed secure through rain and rough handling, and it lit my kindling on the first try every time.

Ava ★★★★★

Took this camping last weekend and the T6061 aluminum body feels rock solid in hand, yet it's light enough to forget it's clipped to my pack. The capsule design keeps the striker and tinder dry even after a rain shower soaked everything else. Fire was lit in under a minute on the first try.

Olivia P. ★★★★★

The milling on this little capsule is beautiful—the aluminum feels dense and precise in your hand, yet it’s light enough to forget it’s in my pocket. Clasp is solid and snaps shut with a satisfying click, just what I needed for weekend hikes.
