ZippoArmor Deep Carve Lighters

I got the Antique Copper World Map design Zippo, and before I say anything else... I'd like to say the pictures don't do this finely crafted item justice. The beautiful image engraved into the antique copper finish evokes images in my mind of a world gone by... a world of explorers on ships, perhaps an academic studying over some maps in a University a couple hundred years ago by candlelight, or perhaps a captain of a pirate ship from hundreds of years in the past. This lighter would not look out of place in any of these settings, and it awakens the human imagination in those who would appreciate the sort of finely crafted item that might match these settings.The aesthetic appeal of this beautiful lighter is further enhanced by lighting it and enjoying the sight of the lights of that soft yellow flame dancing across the engraved copper surface.I would suggest that this might be an appealing gift for the following types of people:*People in the military*Social studies teachers*Sailors*People who appreciate old-world designs, antiques, things of that nature*People with classRegarding the characteristics of the lighter itself -- it's a Zippo, so of course the quality is top notch, as expected. Makes a satisfying "click" noise when closed. I have kept it at my desk and found I periodically reach for it and flip it open and closed now and then or light it just for the enjoyment of playing with it.I was also delighted to hear it's still made in the USA.Works great with Zippo's butane inserts for those who aren't using it for smoking and want the fuel to last a long time without evaporation. I personally have used and enjoyed it with Zippo's butane double-torch insert.

From the weight to the design to the execution of the design and the gorgeous finish I am over the moon. I took days picking out my first armor and was not disappointed you won't be either. Get it here because the prices are going up.

I'm not a smoker of any sort of tobacco. I'm not a Zippo collector. But I have developed a sort of respect for the artistic aspects of this inexpensive little cultural icon as I shopped for a fire making tool. This deep carved Armor "Regal" model really is beautiful. It looks like something 80 years old from a time gone by. It even feels very nice in the hand.Aside from the looks, I wanted something reliable to start my backpacking stove or a campfire when I'm hiking. What's more reliable than a Zippo? Because I'm on the trail for a week at a time, I also bought a dual torch butane insert to convert this lighter to a fuel that doesn't evaporate and wont leak on my other gear. I figure this may sit in my backpack for a month or two. With the butane, I won't have to worry about fuel disappearing on me. Also, the butane insert shoots a steadier flame a little further which is handy for starting my liquid fuel stove without toasting my hand.I'll play with the Zippo insert and the butane insert to see which one is the better solution for the outdoors. I have to admit, the oil insert makes a much more aesthetically pleasing and more natural looking flame.

This is a great zippo at a great price it’s armor so thicker then normal zippos. Thanks

I was a bit worried not purchasing from Zippo direct but my budget didn't allow $100 for a lighter. Still the most expensive lighter I've bought but so well worth it. Gave to my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! A Zippo was the only thing he requested and was probably expecting just a regular zippo. He's an above and beyondboyfriend and deserves the same, this Zippo held up to that expectation. Beautiful, gorgeous precision etched design, nice weight and works splendidly. I'm no longer allowed to touch it cause I lose all lighters, that is truth. Paired it with a scratch off world map for our adventures to be had (driving through Ireland was our 1st). Now he can light my fire wherever we end up.

Terrific detail deep-etched into the copper exterior. Consistent finish on top and bottom and all sides. Really a sharp-looking lighter. The Armor series is a little heavier (which I prefer) and the cover-opening "ting" sound is different (not sure if it's the heavier weight metal or the copper) than a standard chrome-plated brass Zippo. Not bad, just different. The engraving definitely helps with grip--if you find your polished Zippo slips in your hand (making it hard for one-handed operation)--this is much easier and more secure. 4/5 stars because it's pretty expensive for a lighter. Functionally, it's no better or worse than a $15 Zippo. Same insert, wick, flint, packing, etc.

Crazy about zippos here. You may have seen a review from me before. So far im somewhere around 200 so I consider myself a bit of an expert. Once you start collecting: you can't stop. Anyways, This specific purchase is about the copper coated "gears" armor zippo. Out of the 50 or so armors I've amassed, I had yet to buy a copper coated armor (why? No clue). Well as a zippo addict, it was time for that to change. I decided that this model was a necessity, at least to start with, because...well, look at it! It's an absolutely beautiful lighter. And it has a really good click (some newer models are hit or miss on a loud ping). This piece has passed my test and I'm a snob when it comes to zippos. You will not be disappointed. NOTE - It comes with a stainless steel insert. I had a spare brass insert and thought it would look better with the copper case. It doesn't affect the click in any way. Get one for yourself or as a gift. I promise you its a good one

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship. No pictures will do this lighter true justice. I’ve wanted this zippo for about a year. I finally went ahead and bought it a couple of months back. I also have the world Atlas 360 engraved zippo, hands-down these are my favorite zippos. They go up as supply gets lower, so if you’re thinking about getting it,do it. This beautiful zippo is worth every penny. It arrived when promised, and is a genuine, zippo product. It came as described, and in new condition. I have zero complaints about this lighter.

Insert doesn’t match the case

So I ordered the silver zippo and it was listed as being made from silver I think it’s stainless silver plated at best also when I opens the box there was a 59.999 price tag on it I paid over $200 when ordered two stars because it is a solid and genuine zippo but definitely feel ripped off

Va llegando. Es el modelo Black Ice geometrico, que parece ya no esta a la venta porque no aparece en las opciones. Me decidí a escribir esta reseña con fotos porque al comprarlo no sabia que iba a recibir. Las fotos de la publicación son muy pobres con la realidad de producto. Me gustó mucho, el color muy bonito, es como un acero polarizado. Se siente rígido y robusto al tacto, la tapa abre y cierra bien, con cierta rigidez, no aguado. Viene grabado de la parte de enfrente y la parte de atrás esta lisa como espejo polarizado. Me gusto mucho eso porque se puede grabar en el. El material y acabado son brillosos. Si lo volvería a comprar.

Super nice design zippo, hard to get!

El diseño es increible y la calidad buena. Muy caro, pero merece la pena porque un zippo bien cuidado te dura toda la vida.Por desgracia, la estrella azul se ha despegado tras unas semanas de uso. Tanto rollo en la aduana para que me lo dejaran importar y el detalle se cayo, aunque sigue siendo funcional.
