ZIPPO Yoshitaka Amano 04_001F First Sword Lighter
A collectible Armor ZIPPO lighter featuring artwork by internationally acclaimed Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano, inspired by one of the most iconic fantasy illustrations associated with the early Final Fantasy series.
Part of the official Yoshitaka Amano Collection, the 04_001F design faithfully reproduces Amano’s elegant character artwork through a combination of advanced graphic printing, raised detailing, precious metal accents, and antique-finished metalwork.
The lighter is built on a premium Armor Case, approximately 1.5 times thicker than a standard ZIPPO case, providing enhanced durability and a substantial feel in hand. The silver-plated antique finish creates a refined backdrop for the artwork, while selective gold-plated decorative elements and raised detailing add depth and dimension to the overall composition.
The front of the lighter features Yoshitaka Amano’s signature, while the double-sided artwork transforms the entire lighter into a miniature fantasy art canvas.
This model has been discontinued and is no longer in production. Remaining stock is available while supplies last.
