Well, I guess you should order at least armored Zippo, they have bit thicker walls and might survive longer with you :) Thanks for liking it!

I am concidering to order one from you, though i'm a bit rough with my lighters (and acationally wery lucky/unlucky)I totalled the one I had when I fell of a bike. had i not landed on my lighter and glided 10 feet on it I would have busted my hip badly. It would allmost be a sin to bust up sich a fine lighter Nice

The bad thing about me is, of course, that I don't want to go to heaven. What concerns the intricacy of the work, I must say that I've yet to see a machine that can do work as fine as humans can engrave. Yes the lasers can do pretty fine stuff, but they aren't cutting the metal, just burning. Though there are some 7 or 8-axis CNC's that can fool those who don't know how to look at engraving and might look something like it's hand engraved. But still no cookie. Humans can make stupid errors during engraving and then clean them up and make it look like it was supposed to be there. Try that with a machine. Anyway. How much do you offer for an engraved Zippo? You can email me if you're too embarrassed to make a public offer :) Jake, you, my friend, have a good sense of humor :) . The bad thing about me is, of course, that I don’t want to go to heaven.

With design as complicated as this it costs around $130 USD, which includes Armored Brass Zippo and shipping to anywhere. Of course I can do custom design, then the price depends how complicated the engraving is. Michel, thanks for liking it!

Out of curiosity; what would one of your engraved Zippo's cost approximately? Very impressive Zippo, better then any engraved/edged Zippo I’ve seen including Japanese Zippo’s.
