I like the concept of Permanent Match offer by countycomm. But does not like the way it is built. It is a “C shape” piece of thin metal wrapped around a square plastic box. I am concern if the plastic body is able to store lighter fluid soaked cotton wool for long term.

What I have in mind is a 1.5 inch tall pill fob, that is either AL or Ti, with a external slot for sticking a piece of flint. The pill fob would contain lighter fluid soaked cotton wool inside it. The cap of the pill fob would have double O ring and have a striker/match attached. The body of the match would have some rough edges for shaving Mag. block and a tip just like the countrycomm match.

The idea is to have a durable permanent match that does not have to be weekly refilled like a zippo. So non smoker can keep one of these pill fob on their keychain or in BOB for long term storage and yet able to produce a flame in 2~3 years.
