Nice idea! I have to find my old zippo, I have it in one of those good places.. I have "paused" my smoking for the past 4 years (I think) and putt my zippo away at the same time

Zippo lighter for Victorinox (bottom center).

I find it really neat that there is a Vic Zippo--you'd think with them owning Case, they wouldn't make a knife for a competing knife company (but I do believe that there are a lot of knife guys who don't take SAKs seriously).

I wonder if there is a way to keep fuel from evaporating from a zippo? For that reason alone, disposable lighters work much better. But then again, I never need a lighter anyway. *shrugs*
Title: Re: Saks + Zippos
Post by: styx on July 08, 2018, 07:08:40 PM
butane inserts, rubber gaskets...
Title: Re: Saks + Zippos
Post by: Borg on July 08, 2018, 07:59:32 PM
I have seen people put ranger bands over the lid joint to slow down the evaporation, not very good solution though, the Wenger i have is terrible for it but thankfully it carries its own auxiliary fuel tank (the red part) that never leaks or evaporates so it always has fuel as long as i remember to refill the aux tank  :tu:

It's just one of the little quirks that all zippos have I guess. As long as you keep reserve fuel on hand you can usually get a week or two out of a fill up. Here's my cg zippo with my s18 accompanying it :cheers:

I used to have a brass-bodied ladies' size zippo that was my EDC for camping adventures for 20+ years, but sadly when I went to look for it, I couldn't find it.  This garden variety chrome plated full size specimen still lives on my workbench although I never use it anymore. 

Great idea for a thread, though.  Here is my chrome full size next to the OC Pioneer I just picked up from SteveC.  Great guy to deal with, by the way!  :)

Not strictly a Zippo, I guess, but close enough. (Should read fīat iūstitia, et pereat mundus, not 'piriat', but they made a mistake  ???).
