The Zippo tool
on: May 29, 2008, 06:18:46 PM
Found this one at a marked today, cost me 10$. It's utterly useless, butt it's a very nice to have in my newly started collection. Anyone else that knew about it or how many they made or when it was made?

So Zippo isn't the only one who has made a tool like this. Thanks dude.

It's very likely that Zippo didn't make that one, and just rebranded it.

It's the most probable cause, but it's made at the Zippo factory according to the markings at the knife and the covers

Zippo and Case are related, so it doesn't surprise me to see both of their names on it.
