I bought one of the original Blazer PB207 windproof lighters before they pulled them from the market, then susbequently reintroduced them with childproof features. The original is nice because it doesn't have any childproof feature preventing one hand operation and can be locked on. It also has a ring to allow it to stand up which in combination with the lock-on makes it valuable in an emergency firestarting situation. The flame is hot enough and controllable so it can be used for light soldering. The original is almost impossible to find now so I consider myself lucky. Also has a nice "cool" factor.

There's a good history at:
