The ability to create fire on a moment's notice makes a well-crafted lighter the perfect every day carry. And few butane lighters can rival that of the Kiribi line of lighters.
Butane Lighter.
Elegant black nickel exterior or sleek and modern black matte exterior with black lacquered finish.
Single tank construction with extraordinary fuel capacity.
Special polymer spring that is more resistant to fatigue than steel.
Kiribi's Kenshi, meaning "sword wielder," is an angled pipe lighter with double flame for softer, wider pipe lighting in a sophisticated art deco style. The Kenshi is a horizontally smaller model than Kiribi's other pipe lighter offerings, for even easier pocket carry and convenience.
While branded Kiribi, Tsubota Pearl is the manufacturer behind this line and therefore, this lighter could be considered the butane sister of the very popular Brass Bolbo Petrol Lighter.
Please note:
Butane lighters require the lighter to be filled a specific way in order to function properly. Please follow the operating instructions exactly.
Use high quality, ultra refined butane fuel like Xikar or Newport Zero. This will increase the lifespan of the lighter and make for a smoother lighting experience.
Operating Instructions
Use high quality, ultra refined butane fuel like Xikar or Newport Zero. This will increase the lifespan of the lighter and make for a smoother lighting experience.
TO FILL:
Check for Empty: Ensure the lighter is nearly empty to prevent overfilling.
Bleed Air: Turn fuel adjustment wheel counterclockwise to the plus mark and release remaining pressure.
Read the Instructions: Review lighter's user manual for specific refueling instructions.
Adjust Flame: Turn fuel adjustment wheel clockwise to the minus mark.
Fit the Nozzle: Match fuel refill nozzle to lighter's refill valve, ensuring a secure connection.
Invert and Fill: Hold lighter and canister upside-down, press nozzle to refill valve, filling in short bursts. Press down for three seconds and release. Repeat three to five times (or more depending on the fuel capacity of your lighter).
Refill Slowly: Avoid overfilling by refilling slowly and in short bursts.
Wait: Allow fuel to stabilize for a few minutes before attempting to light the lighter.
Adjust Flame: Use the flame adjustment dial to increase the flame size if needed.
About Kiribi
The origins of Kiribi lay in the traditional Japanese practice of casting sparks upon a beloved traveler’s back, in order to impart fortune and ward off evil, blessing them on their journey. The practice hearkens back to the famous 8th century legend of Prince Yamatotakeru, and the aunt who gifted him the firestone and striker which saved his life along perilous travels. In time, the same simple tool kit that was used to perform the original Kiribi came to be used by the countryfolk of Japan to light their pipes; and thus the inspiration for the Kiribi line.
