Hit a rock show, a back-road bar or any cowboy town or small town American city. Someone’s carrying a Zippo. 
 
Always.
 
Because Zippos don’t quit. They’re overbuilt, timeless, and unapologetically American. Steve McQueen, James Dean, Marlon Brando, Charles Bronson—they all carried one. And Bond would too if he wasn’t stuck shilling for British hardware.
 
Since the first Zippo sparked, people have been cutting them up. Painted them. Welded them. Burned them. And the brave ones took a saw to them.
 
That’s where we come in.
 
We start with a solid brass Zippo and tear it all the way down. The hinge gets de-welded. The body, case, and flint tube get chopped and machined in our shop. The flint holder is re-threaded, the spring shortened, the hinge welded back on, and the guts reinstalled by hand.
 
Then we torch our mark into the side—laser engraved at high heat for a scorched, permanent finish.
 
What you’re left with is a fully functional, cut-down brass Chopper Zippo. Lighter. Meaner. Leaner.
 
If you’re into shaving weight, collecting real gear, or just carrying something that looks like it’s lived a life—this one belongs in your pocket.
