Product: Lighters Rattray's Pipe Lighter - Bel Chrome Satin
I am a pretty big fan Rattray’s and most things produced with their name on it. The Rattray’s pipe lighter is one of best pipe lighters your money can buy and I have tried all the brands and models. I have had a lot of hits and misses in my quest for good pipe lighters. This lighter and the Old Boy are the only two that have been perfect right out of the box every single time, they are in a class of their own.

The finish on this example is good. I would describe it as a satin finish, you can see the horizontal tool marks. Very impressive finish.

I don’t notice any difference in fuel capacity between the Rattray’s and the old boy, but I haven’t researched the technical specs. Very easy to refill! No disassembly needed. The flame adjustment can be a little bipolar between peewee and flame thrower but it’s no biggie to just adjust the valve with your fingernail. Replacing the flint can require a little finesse so I wouldn’t advise doing it in the field, but is easy enough. I make sure to replace mine before taking it on a long trip. Flipping the cap open and lighting can be done in one swift motion, just like my Old Boy. Closing the cap also provides an authoritative “clack”. I have zero concerns or observations of this lighter opening accidentally.

Dimensionally compared with a standard Zippo, it’s thinner, same width and about .25” taller.

As a lighter, this is a very excellent one. Really hard for me to find any flaw from a design and in-hand-usage standpoint. After factoring in the price-point, this a no brainer.
