  I always wondered about..., February 16, 2011

By egn...

I always wondered about the shape of this pen–in photos, it looks awkward. Hold it in your hand, though, and you'll discover the extremely well-thought-out, svelte design that made me reconsider many pens I have loved for years (and I'm stubborn!). My only complaint is that it becomes top-heavy when the cap is posted, but it's a minor gripe considering the excellent writing quality and a price that mortals can afford. Subtle details will come to light the more you use it, and I'm considering getting a ballpoint too. Stop wondering–you should own one of these!

  The pen so nice I bought..., February 28, 2011

By phoenix.kiss

The pen so nice I bought it twice (I have this one and the white and chrome F point).

I love the triangular grip on this pen. I have large-ish hands -- for perspective, I can stretch an octave and a key on a baby grand piano -- and I find the Lamy exceptionally comfortable. It's lightweight, and I honestly don't have too much of a problem with the cap when posted, though it is a bit of extra weight.

The nib is stiff and isn't the smoothest nib I've ever written with (that distinction goes to my Namiki Vanishing Point), but it is exceptionally consistent and I almost never get any scratching or feathering. I write on cheap looseleaf paper most of the time, as I'm a student, and I honestly have no complaints. It's well worth the price as it's almost completely indestructible -- I use it for that reason alone much more than some of my other pens.

I absolutely adore this pen. Holding it becomes so natural its like writing with air. Never splotches, never skips. Sleek look and the lightweight design makes it a perfect match for my rhodia webbie. awesome awesome awesome!

By jfeltracco1

This pen is wonderful, from the high-quality plastic to the super smooth nib, this thing has blown me away completely. This is a must buy for anyone looking to switch to a fountain pen, but doesn't have very much money. Also shipping from Jetpens was very fast and there were no issues at all. This was a great first purchase and probably many more will ensue...

By ral...

Really I couldn't find anything bad about this pen it dosn't feather or bleed through when you write, and one of my favorite things is the grip it fells great in your hand.

By lyn...

Great pen! It has a comfortable grip and none of the usual fountain pen fussiness. At first I thought the appearance of it was a bit clunky. But that has grown on me and I really like the design as well now.

  Bought and dislike. I..., May 5, 2010

By tra...

Bought and dislike.

I expect my fountain pens to write smoothly and flow consistently. Wth F nib, this thing is scratchy and inconsistent. It disturbs me. I adjust it to write smoothly and consistently by opening up the tins, but this makes the lines broad instead of fine. With this adjustment, it makes writing a little more tolerable, I still get better performance from my under $20 Jinhao pen.

I also use a slightly more expensive Pilot Cavalier that writes fine lines as I would expect - smooth and consistent. If I had to do it again, I would pass on this pen.

By tr_...

Great value! I have one with a medium nib which is great for writing, but the line is too wide for drawings. So I bought one with a fine nib which I take with me everywhere for sketching. Ink flows well and the pen action is smooth. I get thinner lines by rotating the pen nib 180 degrees.

  writes better than my..., October 27, 2009

By kenthenoob

writes better than my $40 pilot fountain pen. and i don't have to adjust my hand to get ink on paper. i love this pen. it's so lightweight and quality is real good. would be nice if they plugged up the hole so it can be converted into an eyedropper though. otherwise, it's a very solid fountain pen!

  Hello fellow JetPens..., February 11, 2012

By mariowolfe

Hello fellow JetPens visitors,
I've been using this fine nib'd Lamy Safari in charcoal black for about 4 years with the converter from JetPens using only Noodler's Bulletproof Black ink which I picked up here as well.

This pen has been my go-to pen for improving my writing and for almost every subject in college for these past 3-4 years. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fountain pens, as this pen never skips and never needs to be tempered in order to get it going. All you need to do is remove the cap and the ink flows if you have ink in it. Most reliable of all my fountain pens.

I'm writing this review now because I have seen this pen in the new Liam Neeson movie , The Grey, which is out in theaters now. I got excited and decided to get on here and check out the inventory again.

Buy this pen... do it.

  This is my new favorite..., January 19, 2012

By sco...

This is my new favorite everyday carry pen. I routinely carry it in a shirt pocket and have never had a problem with leakage. The built in window gives me plenty of warning before I run out of ink so I am not caught without a working pen.

Service at Jet Pens was great. No surprises. Prompt delivery.

  So glad I ordered this..., January 13, 2012

By kat...

So glad I ordered this pen! It is definitely the smoothest writing fountain pen I've tried so far. Very comfortable to hold, but the design does look bulky even in person.
