Lighters: Kiribi Kabuto Kuroi

Product Number: 001-068-0215

Along with the katana, the kabuto (winged battle helm) boasts an integral association with the pre-Meiji Restoration samurai class. While the inspiration for the Kiribi shapes all hail directly from the zenith of Art Deco, the Kabuto also incorporates an homage to this tradition within the gesture of the wing-like cap toggle — a direct reference to the fukigaeshi (crescent like wings on the side of the kabuto)

Though distinctly retro-chic on the outside, your new Kabuto sports a state-of-the-art modernist design, technology, and cutting-edge innovations within. It features:

  • angled flame design that offers a convenient and more gentle light for your pipe
  • hinge spring made of a special polymer that is far more resilient to fatigue than steel
  • single tank construction with impressive fuel capacity
  • 100% hand assembled in Japan
  • sturdy brass, steel, and nickel construction

Your lighter, like your choice of cuff-links or writing pen, communicates much about your discerning tastes to others. Let your new Kiribi Kabuto do some of the talking, others will get the message.

The Kiribi Kabuto is available here in the black, leather-wrapped presentation of the Kuroi finish, with Kiribi's giant squid logo pressed into the supple material.

What's not to like about this bad boy. The quality and workmanship are outstanding, and the two year guarantee gives me some peace of mind. My friends will flip when I light up my Peterson ebony 309 with this piece of "iron". Well worth the price.... Read More
