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.

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 for long-term use.

The brass version develops a patina over time, giving it a finish that is unique to you.

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 Bolbo Petrol Lighter by Tsubota Pearl carries a distinctly vintage feel, with a compact, rounded form that recalls mid-century pocket lighters. Its curved body sits comfortably in the hand and slips easily into a pocket or bag.

  • Do not overfill. If flooded, allow time for excess fuel to evaporate
  • Replace flint when worn to about one third of original size

    → Shop replacement flints

  • Wick should extend slightly above the wind guard
  • If the wick becomes too short, it should be replaced rather than pulled

    → Shop replacement wick

  • Always ignite with the cap fully open and lighter held upright
  • Avoid prolonged contact between flame and metal surfaces
