The texture is the function. The 5.1 cm cube is geometrically simple, and deceptively dense. 625 g in a form that fits the palm: the density is the argument. The striker does not shift when you use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe metallic warmth of brass shifts with the light — against pale wood, white marble, or dark slate, it reads differently.

Strike-anywhere matches are available from outdoor and specialty retailers. This is a cross-sell opportunity, not a barrier — recommend compatible match brands directly at the point of sale. Handled correctly, this prevents returns and generates additional revenue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"cm-cta\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrade enquiries and terms: contact us via the Charles \u0026amp; Marie B2B section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Craighill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54812341764364,"sku":"CRH_0050_BR_00","price":43.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/4546\/9499\/files\/281613-craighill-match-striker-messing-brass-stimmungsbild-mood-0.jpg?v=1780241763","url":"https:\/\/b2b.charlesandmarie.de\/en\/products\/streichholzanzunder-messing-5-cm-craighill","provider":"Charles \u0026 Marie's B2B Shop | Fachhandel | Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
