ZippoSlim Pocket Lighter, High Polish Brass

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 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.

Works well

I carried a zippo for 30 years until it finally wore out. I ordered two of these lighters because I am famous for loosing things in my house. The zippo I started using was very hard to ignite. The wheel is very hard to move and at 78 that can be a problem. I decided to loosen up the flint by turning the screw. I had to use a pair of pliers to get it to move and it is still hard to ignite. I am going to try the other lighter and use this one as a backup. It is not worth going through the hassle to return the lighter and since I put fluid in it I doubt if they would take it back. I just tried the second lighter and it works fine.

You can't beat the quality and price! These are Authentic, affordable, and look really cool! Save your money from other more expensive flashy options and stick with this one! You will be happy that you did. Bonus Points if you fill it with the Zippo Electric rechargeable lighter and use it with hemp wick!

There’s just something classic about a Zippo. The build quality is solid—it feels sturdy and well-made in your hand. The click when you open it is oddly satisfying, and it lights reliably every time with that signature windproof flame. It’s refillable and long-lasting, which makes it way more sustainable than disposable lighters. Plus, the design options are endless, so it can totally match your style. Definitely a timeless piece that’s as functional as it is iconic.

got stolen but before that, excellent product
