Kiribi Pipe Lighter - Kabuto Tsuchime Black Brass

The Kabuto is one of Kiribi's most popular and unique offerings. Its defining feature is perhaps its iconic cap toggle, shaped to resemble the wings of a samurai's "kabuto" battle helm.

This model is available in the Tsuchime Black Brass 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.
