Instead of a lighter, why not go with a cutting torch? Multiple uses including lighting your cigars that way.
Hummm.. I could also customized wood handles on some of my knives with that "burned in look" too boot!

Actually, I made this when I was about 8 years old and couldn't afford a SAK. I wore a hole in several pants pockets carrying that one.

It consists of salvaged items such as a broken stub from a hacksaw blade, clip blade salvaged from an advertiser knife, sheepsfoot, file, and bottle opener salvaged from a Trim Trio, an uncut car key blank, and a 4 way Powerful Pete pocket screwdriver. It is held together with a screw and a wingnut. lol Actually I made this when I was about 8 years old and couldn't afford a SAK. I wore a hole in several pants pockets carrying that one.
