Zippo offers the same lifetime guarantee on the BLU and the BLU2 that they offer on their regular lighters, so I guess that they will stand up to a beating. I know that my petro-fueled lighter has. Anyway, the place I'm looking at is only asking about $35 for the lighter and about $10 for the engraving. That $100 price tag is staggering. I don't blame you for not jumping on it.

I used to keep a Zippo in a leg pocket on my flight suit until one day, I experienced what low atmospheric pressure will do to a Zippo on occasion: that lighter leaked lighter fluid all over my flight suit and my leg. Raised a blister the size of a saucer !!! Cured me of that habit for sure !!!

Anyhoooooo ... thanks for the 411. Appreciate the get-backs. I think I will pull the trigger. If it pans out well, I will post a link so that if anyone is interested, they can jump right to it.
