Description
CRAIGHILL
A carbon steel match striker that outlasts every matchbox.
The Craighill Match Striker is a solid cube of carbon steel with an electroplated black zinc finish — 5.1 × 5.1 × 5.1 cm, approx. 624 g. The deep knurling pattern on every side creates enough friction to light strike-anywhere matches safely and reliably. Designed by Craighill in Brooklyn, New York.
An object that stays
Most matchboxes are torn, faded or gone within two weeks. The Craighill Match Striker stays. It sits on the mantelpiece or the kitchen counter and becomes part of the room — until someone picks it up and asks: “What is this?”
That happens a lot. The weight of 624 g in a 5 cm cube is the first surprise. You pick it up and know at once that this is not an accessory that ends up in the bin. The matte black feels almost ceremonial — lighting a match becomes a deliberate gesture rather than an afterthought.
Whether you are lighting candles, incense or the fireplace: the ritual starts here. “Can a Match Striker be beautiful? Yes, yes it can. The size and heft of the product is wonderful and will easily become a talking piece.” — customer review, 5 stars.
The perfect gift for people with style
For people who love candles, burn incense, have a fireplace or simply appreciate well-made things. The Match Striker is the gift nobody expects — and nobody wants to be without afterwards.
“Solid gift for the incense burner in your life. Great hefty product worth keeping for a lifetime.” — verified customer review. Rated 4.7/5 from 34 reviews.
Please note: the striker only works with strike-anywhere matches. Ordinary safety matches will not light on this surface. Matches are not included. Match residue on the striker wipes off easily with a damp cloth.

Frequently asked questions
Which matches work with this striker?
Only strike-anywhere matches. Classic safety matches — the standard kind sold in most supermarkets — only light on the strip of their box and will not work on this striker. Strike-anywhere matches are available from outdoor, camping and specialist shops.
Can the striker stay on the dining table or mantelpiece?
Yes. At 624 g the striker stands firmly on its own and does not tip over when you strike a match. The matte black zinc finish is easy to care for. It works as a permanent accessory on a dining table, sideboard, mantelpiece or bedside table.
How do I clean the striker after use?
Match residue wipes off easily with a slightly damp cloth. The striker does not need oiling or sealing afterwards; the black zinc finish is made for everyday use.
Is the striker a good gift for people who don’t use candles?
Yes — the Match Striker suits anyone who burns incense, has a fireplace or stove, cooks outdoors or simply enjoys well-made everyday objects. Even unused, it is a design object that draws attention.
How heavy is the striker really?
About 624 g in a 5.1 cm cube — roughly the weight of a full 0.5 l bottle of water. The weight is intentional: it keeps the striker steady, conveys quality and makes it an object you cannot overlook.
Is it the right choice if I mainly use safety matches?
Not directly. Safety matches only work on the striking strip of their box. This striker needs strike-anywhere matches — switching is a one-off step that many users find quickly worthwhile.
Who is behind Craighill?
Craighill was founded in Brooklyn, New York, by Hunter Craighill. The studio designs everyday objects with a focus on honest materials, precise manufacturing and longevity.
