Tsubota lighters are among Kathryn Hastings’ favorite objects to keep at her desk, for both form and function. Used often in the studio for refining wax seals, softening edges, and gently removing air bubbles, they have the satisfaction of a well-made tool that becomes a desktop staple.

William Morris wrote, “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” These are both.

Simple, weighty, and thoughtfully designed, each lighter is meant to be reached for daily and kept for years.

The lighter doesn't come with lighter fluid. Kathryn's favorite fluid, Ronsonol, can easily be found on Amazon.

The lighter comes with a link to tutorials for Getting Started and Additional Tutorials.
