Such as chrome , matte , colored chrome , black crackle , brass , and silver , as well as featuring some different zippo models like a vintage look and a couple of replicas there are tons of finishes on zippo‘s out there today so if you’re a new time zippo buyer , hopefully this video can help you determine what finish suits you the best .

The first zippo should be the first one you like.. I'drecommend one you don't mind losing, breaking, or destroying the value of, cause yer gonna wanna toy with it lol. I try my best to love all zippos, but my favorites seem to always be brass. It's more because of the feel of tarnished brass for an edc, I love it. Polished brass is always number one for me now. Matte red and black are tied for second, the matte paint finishes are durable, matte have everything it takes to be number one even in their worst of days, but the black matte is impossible to find in the dark... IMPOSSIBLE LOL 3rd is classic chrome, great finish, great for beaters, nice wear patterns for edc's, if yer a nerd like me and prefer chromes to be used. 20+ years at least lol. After that, anything can catch my eye every single day differently than the day before. I can't pick a favorite sometimes, which is why my carry rotation is insanely huge. More comments to bump the algorithm if I can, ignore the long posts and randomness lol

@masonr1666 2 ай бұрын

I think brass is my go to finish. It is simple, and the material is its finish. It is also very replaceable, so of you loose it, it sucks, but you can get a new one. I like the idea of a crackle finish if dexterity is an issue, but the one I tried I ended up returning because I didn't like the feel (I purchased it off of Amazon.) Kind of want a Silver, but it would be too easy to carry everyday. My plan is to get one for my 50th birthday. [Hopefully with my year and month.] $40.00 for an Armor with my name engraved on it, seems to be ideal for EDC use. $400.00, is too expensive to be walking around with everyday at least for my budget.

if you were to purchase a new zippo (retail) how nit picky would you be about little bumps or defects in the paint/sticker/art?

@jbinfa7k 10 күн бұрын

I think High polish finishing is the best looking until I started touching it. I am only using 2 Zippo nowadays, one is a black crackle and the other is a pure white glowing in the dark. Both of which don't care about my oily fingerprints at all. I hope somehow somewhere you are reading this, T MAN.

@robertplant6667 Жыл бұрын

@Comrade T MAN, I had only 1941 Brass replicas, because i love how they look, but after a while the lid dont close how it should, its like 1 millimeter offset. Its because of the 4 barrel hinge? Now im thinking buying an Armor Brass one, thinking they are stronger, having 5 barrel hinge. Do they have the same deep wonderful sound as 1941's?

@evilmonkeysyndicate2047 Жыл бұрын

I don’t know if it’s the 4 barrel hinge but I have noticed 2 of my 1941 replicas do have the offset you are talking about. Strangely, my black crackle 1941 replica has been my EDC for 4 years and hasn’t developed the offset. I’m not suggesting it’s the finish, just that it might not happen to all 4 barrel. My second favorite are my armor zippos. I’ve read the heavier case’s without a reinforced hinge might result in the hinge breaking faster, but in the 10+ years I’ve carried an armor and used it for tricks, I haven’t found that to be the case. Keep collecting and don’t settle for “The best”. Just find your favorite.
