From Brass Shell to Personal Keepsake

Each WEDO piece is handmade from a real repurposed brass shell casing. We check every detail — from shape and finish to engraving, ignition, and feel in hand. If it does not meet our standard, we make it again. It does not leave our workshop.

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.

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.

So 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?
