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 beautiful. It’s a mirror chrome finish over a knurled surface - the result is a very handsome lighter. My favorite rendition of the line. No matter the angle the light hits it, you get half bright reflection and muted dark reflection. So very cool. The chrome finish on these lighters is very durable as well.
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! Do 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....Read More
