Size S|Small

Light. Discreet. Always There.

-

Material:

Solid brass body, proportioned to echo .338 cartridge form.
At this scale, real cartridge shells are not long enough for functional use — so Small is machined from brass rod to preserve balance and reliability.

Use & Feel:
Designed for extreme portability and frequent use.
Light in the pocket, quick in the hand, minimal physical presence.

You may forget it’s there —
until the moment you need it.

Recommended for:
Daily pocket carry / Those who value light handling

Size M|Medium

Balanced. Familiar. Effortless.

-

Material:

Crafted from real .50 BMG brass cartridge (12.7 × 99),
retaining authentic cartridge proportions.

Use & Feel:
The most balanced Classic size.
Stable in the hand with clear ignition feedback.

Comfortable for extended use and handling —
often the first choice for long-term ownership.

Recommended for:
Daily use & handling / Gifting / Long-term users

Size L|Large

Weight You Can Feel. Ritual You Notice.

-

Material:
Made from .50 caliber sniper rifle brass cartridge (12.7 × 108),
with increased mass and length.

Use & Feel:
More substantial without excess.
The added weight slows each ignition slightly — in a good way.

Each use feels steadier, more deliberate, more tactile —
not because it demands attention,
but because it naturally earns it.

Recommended for:
Those who value hand-feel / Stress-relief handling / Daily use with presence

Size T|Extra Large

Deliberate. Confident. Enduring.

-

Material:
Formed from 14.5 mm anti-armor machine gun cartridge (14.5 × 114),
built around scale and fuel capacity.

Use & Feel:
Designed for endurance and reliability.
Its presence is unmistakable — not aggressive, but assured.

Longer refills, fewer interruptions.
Each ignition feels intentional and composed.

Recommended for:
Extended use / Users who value reliability / Fewer refills & stronger presence

Size C|Collector Size

Maximum Presence. Ultimate Reliability.

-

Material:
Constructed from NR-23 aircraft cannon cartridge (23 × 115),
the largest scale we work with in our production.

Use & Feel:
At this size, the lighter becomes more than a tool.
It becomes an object you rely on, return to, and keep within reach.

Chosen not for convenience,

but for confidence, durability, and the satisfaction of using something uncompromised.

Recommended for:
Collectors / Those seeking maximum presence and reliability

🔥 Born from creativity. Built to be worthy of your expectations.

WEDO – We Do. We Create. We Ignite.

WEDO is a small workshop built by Sword & Claire. Every piece is made, checked, and packed by people who care about whether it feels right in the hand and carries the meaning it was made for.

We know what it feels like to wait for something meaningful — and how disappointing it is when it arrives without the weight, detail, or feeling you expected.

That is why we make every WEDO piece with one question in mind: would we feel proud to send this out, and would we be happy to receive it ourselves?
