Zippo Brass Pocket Lighters

Great zippo. Looks classy and is very good quality. You can tell that it is solid brass as it feels solid and sturdy. As with any zippo, it is pretty easy to maintain and refill. The brushed brass is nice and is definitely quite scratch resistant. I have carried it around for months with minimal visible wear.

Best quality products.

This is a Steet Brass finish and a beautiful Zippo and exactly as expected. It has a soft and smooth feel to it, almost like it's coated with something, but looks like it's scratched up, however the scratches are underneath the coating so you can't feel them. The lid opens with a nice sharp and iconic click sound and closing with a satisfying snap. No other thing in the world sounds like it. Naturally the lighter arrives in the beautiful black box with the papers including the lifetime warranty notice. For anyone who never owned a Zippo one thing of note is that, due to safety requirements for shipping, the lighter arrives unfilled, meaning no lighter fluid is added. So keep in mind one needs to have lighter fluid handy and fill up the Zippo before first use. It's an unreasonable desire to want a Zippo lighter, but it's just one of these timeliness and pivotal items that is so recognizable that it will forever hold a special place in people's hearts. Everyone should have one, or six of these. They are not just practical, but also will last a lifetime, or several if they're well cared for an not lost. Of course they are windproof so even on a gusty day, or night, the Zippo will light up without fail.

I’ve had literally hundreds of Zippos over the years, most were given away to make room for more, managed to misplace the last one I’d had left, so I ordered this one to replace it. It performs exactly as expected, the case and spring are solid and well-fitting without making it too challenging to get the insert out for filling/maintenance, took a bit to break in the flint as usual, but it works exactly as a Zippo should. Fantastic value even without the sale price and it looks gorgeous with the street-finish brass and feels great in the hand. I could see myself getting another just like it so I have a backup (nothing against the functionality, there’s just never a situation where someone who uses a wick lighter would be worse off with a spare).

I ordered this lighter because I'd always wanted a hefty and quite shiny 'gold' zippo that was reasonably priced. I expected it to get a few scratches here and there while traveling in my pocket, but it scratched pretty heavily sharing a pocket with my cellphone. It never came in contact with my keys or even my wallet, but after having it for a few months it's completely covered in scratches and spots where the case needs a good polishing. Performance wise, it's a perfectly functional lighter and I've never had a problem with fluid leaking even after a full refill, but I've never over-filled it because of years of experience. Breakdown out of 10 Appearance - 8 Out of the box this is one of the sexiest lighter's I've ever seen and has a great weight to it, as advertised. Unfortunately (and also the reason I gave it a 4 of 5) is that this lighter is a scratch/fingerprint magnet that needs constant cleaning and some brass polish if you want to keep it looking as good as it does out of the box. That or some kind of case or cloth to keep it relatively scratch free. An added benefit is that the insert of the lighter is also brass, not just the case, so it looks quite classy all over. The Wikipedia article on zippo lighters has a picture of this lighter, open, if you're interested in seeing the insert. I also really like the weight of it and it doesn't feel cheap like a good percentage of zippos do. Durability - 7 It scratches incredibly easily as brass is a fairly soft metal but all the inner parts continue to work well. Performance - 8 Lights great, uses fuel at a reasonable rate and is even decent in moderate wind conditions for lighting a cigarette. Performance with pipe lighting could be a bit better, but it's not a pipe lighter so I didn't factor that into my score. One con I saw was that the zippo insert would pull up when the case was opened. This isn't a problem if you're lighting the lighter each time you open it, but it makes zippo tricks hard, if not impossible in succession because the case won't close if the insert isn't all the way down in the case. I was a bit disappointed in that because I had planned on using this zippo for tricks and practicing becomes much more tedious when you have to keep pushing the insert back down every 3rd or 4th time you open the cap.

Best priced no frills classic zippo. Folks that read reviews--the silly ones are amazing--doesn't work when I open it, didn't come with fluid, hard to turn wheel for the flint--it's a zippo , a classic lighter --an animal un to itself. Been using zippos for over 50 years. Opened it up, soaked the wadding and reassembled. flick flick flick--lighter burns as it should. Flick --it lights again. Flints are readily available. I don't chase collectible zippos. I have one that's probably 70+ years and it's identical to this. folks are complaining about some plastic coating on this or whatever--my god it's a ten dollar zippo. The coating like anything else in and out of a pocket with keys and coins and tables will get scuffed--GOOD. All I can say is it's as zippo as any zippo that's been out the past 30 years. I don't want one with some silly tacky slogan. Brass or steel and this was cheaper--what a deal! My gifts to people are usually a zippo, a Victorinox Tinker without scissors and a Leatherman Wave + or an ARC if they're really special! Zippo always--everyone gets. Young ignorant people--don't buy it if you don't know what it is--it takes fluid, you change flints, you tweak a wick. What it does do is burn incredibly for lighting anything!

This is a solid brass lighter. A magnet is not attracted to the case. I removed the lighter fluid type insert and replaced it with a Zippo brand twin torch butane type insert. It works perfect. The Brass lighter is made in the U.S.A.

Great looking zippo!

I absolutely love my Zippo Armor lighter. The heavier feel compared to standard Zippos gives it a satisfying, solid weight in the hand — you can really tell it’s built to last. The high polish brass finish is stunning, and over time it develops a unique patina that makes it feel even more personal and timeless. That classic Zippo clink sound is still as satisfying as ever, and after years of use, mine still performs flawlessly. Windproof, refillable, and incredibly reliable — it’s the kind of tool you keep for life. Whether you're using it daily or just carrying it for style, this lighter is a beautiful mix of function and form. Still have mine and still loving it. A classic
