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 red 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.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The milled aluminum body feels absolutely solid in your hand, yet it's compact enough to disappear into a pocket. The capsule design is clever and the clasp keeps everything sealed tight, even after getting tossed around in my pack all day.

Owen ★★★★★

Took this out on a weekend camping trip and the T6061 aluminum body survived getting dropped on rocks without a scratch. The precision milling makes the capsule feel solid in your hand, not flimsy like other lighters I've tried. Fires up quick every time I need it.

Benjamin L. ★★★★★

The milled aluminum body feels incredibly solid in hand, yet it’s light enough to forget it’s in my pocket. The capsule design keeps everything snug and protected, and it lit my fire on the first try even with damp wood around.
