Defined by its art deco aesthetic and iconic cap toggle shaped to resemble the wings of a samurai's "kabuto" battle hem, the Kiribi Kabuto pipe lighter is simply stunning. This model is available in the Tsuchime Silver finish. A traditional artisanal technique, Tsuchime or "hammered" finishes were commonly used to elevate the presentations of traditional Japanese kiserus and cigarette cases years ago. Tsuchime finishes are created by hammering metal sheets one pattern at a time, producing unique textures depending on the size, depth, or pitch of the hammered pattern. Please note: Butane lighters require the lighter to be filled a specific way in order to function properly. Please follow the operating instructions exactly.  Use high quality, ultra refined butane fuel like Xikar or Newport Zero. This will increase the lifespan of the lighter and make for a smoother lighting experience.
