Firstly, it is a Zippo, so that alone says all that needs to be said regarding its quality and craftsmanship. Being the first "Black Ice" version I've ever purchased, I was more than a little surprised to discover the finish is not a high gloss 'black' colour as is seen in all photographs to be found pretty much anywhere (including Zippo's own website), but rather a highly reflective chromatic mirror finish with only the vaguest hue of black within its depths. The pattern design is also a faint white and not at all "yellowish" as it appears in those same photographs. Despite this it is nonetheless an attractive lighter. That being said, considering the price, I dare not make use of it as a "pocket lighter" as I fear that the glossy burnish and/or beautifully detailed graphical design would rapidly (and easily) become scratched and damaged, utterly ruining both its appearance and value. As a collector's keepsake however, it definitely deserves its place amongst those I have on open display, rather than being tucked away within a case.Read full review
