Though originally inspired by an early 19th-century Austrian lighter that used brass shell-casings for the main body, with an external flint and striker, the simpler and more self-contained Zippo design has become an American icon known throughout the world (along with its distinctive, opening "clink!" and smart, closing "clunk!"), and especially so by outdoorsmen and military personnel. Even with the rise in popularity of wind-proof butane torch lighters, the simple, trusty Zippo remains a favourite for those who venture into the highest altitudes and coldest climates, where the Zippo design still proves itself to be the most reliable source for life-sustaining fire.

Made in partnership with Woodchuck USA, these brushed chrome lighters are produced with laser-cut panels made from 100% real wood — plus Zippo and Woodchuck will plant a tree for every lighter sold (you can even use the special code in each box to find out where their trees are planted).
