The Bolbo Petrol Lighter by Tsubota Pearl looks like something you'd find in a well-worn coat pocket from the 1950s. Compact and curved, it feels good in the hand and disappears easily into a bag or pocket.
This striped edition elevates the original design through a more intricate process. Each line is individually machine-engraved into the brass body—not molded—then meticulously polished to achieve a refined, tactile finish. The result is a luxury variation that highlights the precision and care that define Tsubota Pearl’s craft.
Made in Japan from solid brass or Seki steel, the same material used in fine Japanese knives, it is refillable, built to last, and made with precision you can feel.
The flip top allows you to extinguish the flame after lighting or, with a little practice, light it in a single motion. It runs on petrol, flint, and a cotton wick, all of which are replaceable and sustainable for long-term use.
The brass version develops a patina over time, giving it a finish that is unique to you.
