Lighters: Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver

Product Number: 001-068-0217

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

While the original Kiribi Kabuto was available in only a red sateen, sophisticated silver satin, a modernist black nickel, or an understated black matte, in 2015 Kiribi released four new finishes: the black leather-wrapped Kuroi, and the white leather-enveloped Shiroi, the Mizo Black Matte, and the Mizo Silver you see before you — featuring a sleek, striated texture along the body.

I am not a big reviewer of products but this one is so exceptional. I like many of us have spent a fortune on high end lighters and i must say this is better quality than even the corona I had

Screws may need attention in the beginning, but should settle over time. Per fill, will last noticeably longer than any other lighter you've owned, yet weighs enough to make you think it's solid steel. Will make you feel like you're in one of those p... Read More

The Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver lighter shares a special spot in my pipe cabinet right next to my Peterson Silver Stripe Pipe Lighter. Being that the Kiribi Kabuto is a bit more efficient with it's winged cap toggle, making it very easy to flip and str... Read More

Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver
This is an initial review for the Kabuto Mizo Silver. I only received it yesterday, but immediately filled it with butane, and got familiar with the mechanics of the lighter, flint tension rod, etc. This is my first "old boy" style lighter. I have o... Read More

Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver
Living with my Kiribi lighter for a few months I have a more realistic opinion. The finish on the lighter is not nearly as good as IM Corona Old Timer. Not even close. The chrome finish on IM Corona is top. Kiribi? Not so good. Build quality o... Read More

Fine lighter. This Kiribati is replacing a 17 year old im Corona pipe lighter that still works but needs attention. The Kiribi has a larger tank for sure which is a plus and appears well made! BTW, I rated the Kiribi as five stars but only 4.6 app... Read More

Product: Lighters Kiribi Kabuto Mizo Silver
Have had for two years as my only pipe lighter using for 5-7 bowls per week. Works great. Does not like to be dropped - the top came off and I was able to reattach with epoxy. Later the "kabuto" hinge ceased to keep the "lid" down on the burner cl... Read More

So far the lighter works consistently in light winds and is very receptive to polishing
Best Ever Pipe Lighter

This Kabuto is a great tool. Trouble free and goes forever without re-filling. My only gripe is that the Mizo Silver finish is a little too slippery. I'll likely order one of the other Kiribi models with leather for a better grip.
It works

A decent lighter. The flipping arm had some casting imperfections. Overall good construction. Be prepared to tighten a few screws here and there with use. It hasn't leaked. Even with the Kabuto flints it's hit or miss on striking a flame even in ... Read More

If you're sick of using matches or a cheap Bic lighter, and don't want to waste all of your money on an IM Corona Old Boy - the Kiribi Kabuto is a perfect choice. Very solid construction with a 'premium' feel in the hand. Nice spark from the flint a... Read More
