Made in Tokyo by Tsubota Pearl, the Hard Edge Aluminum Wave is a refillable petrol lighter with a lightweight aluminum case and deeply carved wave texture.

Its squared-off form and exposed material give the design a distinctly brutalist character, while the restrained profile keeps it firmly minimalist. The ribbed metal surface recalls vintage lighter design without becoming decorative. Inside, a traditional wick, flint, cotton reservoir, and metal fuel tank allow it to be refilled, repaired, and carried for years with basic maintenance.

About Tsubota Pearl

Tsubota Pearl is a Japanese manufacturer founded in 1952, known for producing precision-crafted lighters and metal goods in Tokyo. Each lighter is assembled by hand, blending industrial durability with refined, minimalist design.

The Hard Edge series was introduced as a study in function-first design, stripping away ornament in favor of clean geometry and reliable performance. Over time, it has become one of Tsubota Pearl’s most recognizable forms, valued for both its utility and quiet, architectural presence.

✉️ Questions?

📦 Ships empty

Petrol lighters cannot be shipped filled with fuel.

You can find lighter fluid here or at your local hardware store

💧 Requires Lighter Fluid

Fill with Zippo-style lighter fluid before use and refill as needed.

🛠️ Built to be maintained

The flint and wick are replaceable, helping your lighter stay in use for years.

🔄 Expect a short learning curve

If you've only used disposable lighters, using a refillable petrol lighter may feel different at first. After a few fills, it quickly becomes second nature.
