[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 257713, member: 1969"] I went out on a limb and picked this Nimrod Sportsman I saw up. While worn and used, it was in great condition, and just needed a little cleaning, a new flint and some fluid to get fired up. The action on the thing is not particularly intuitive. I assume one can either pop out the sliding end while holding the flint wheel to kind of light it two-handed style in one fell motion, but I was getting better luck just using one hand to slide the flint side up and then pushing the wheel forward with my thumb. My impression? IMCO TriPlex/Junior lighters are much easier fuel lighters to use for me...one press of the thumb, and poof. Foolproof. The Nimrod has the advantage of looking like a spark plug, having an ingenious design that gets the flame to the bottom of any pipe (meanwhile not scorching the rims), but working the action is odd. I still love my IMCOs, but I guess this was a good investment...it even had the box. I know people like these things. Old fuel lighters are neat. 8) [/QUOTE]
