I have never owned a Lamy before, this is my first one! I really am enjoying it. The nib writes very well, and smoothly. I think it is a good addition to the Parallel Pens I own. The Joy pens come in smaller widths compared to the Parallel Pens, so it is good for projects that require smaller lettering.

It's a also surprisingly lightweight. I really like the design. It is minimalist and contemporary looking, and I love the red and black combination. Jet Pens includes a converter with the pen, making it a really good deal. I definitely recommend it.

I just recieved my Lamy Joy 1.1, and I've been writing with it all day! I love that it comes with a converter- I filled it with Noodlers Polar Blue and it's gliding as smooth as silk across the paper. It doesn't have a sharp calligraphy effect, maybe because of the small nib, but it makes my hand writing look fabulous. I can write fairly fast, with a nice bold line. This pen has flat edges for your thumb and forefinger, almost like a triangle, and it's really comfortable to hold. I don't like it with the cap posted because it makes it too heavy for my liking. Without the cap, it's light as a feather. Love the red clip on the black body. This is already a favorite! :)

For the price, it's amazing. While it is a little weird that they made it so much longer than a Safari, much of the basic layout is pure Safari/All-Star/Vista. In fact, everything from the barrel threads forward is basically Safari. Balance is good, nib is SMOOTH. This is my first italic nib, so I was seeing occasionally some skipping when I first started a letter. Then I realized that I wasn't holding it square to the paper (and the nib wasn't centered on the feed).
This pen's nib really made my writing much more legible when I write cursive. I have terrible writing and every bit helps. Feed/Flow is excellent with J. Herbin Perle Noire ink. I tried this nib on my Safari loaded with Bay State Blue, and it was awesome on that, too. I want to get all the Lamy nibs now! This pen is a killer, killer bargain at the JetPens price. Converter included!!

I have been a fan of Lamy pens every since I discovered fountain pens, and this flat nib gives your handwriting a touch of elegance. The package comes with the pen and a converter, and a great plus about the pen is that it has a clip on the pen cap that anchors well against a lab coat.

I write a lot of handwritten letters, and my friends love the letters I write with this pen :).

Baystate Blue forever,

i wonder if you could put a regular fountain pen nib on it. Anyway, this pen is pretty nice for the price. I use for formal cards and projects. Aesthetically pleasing, good flow, cheap price... what more could you ask for?

I ordered this small nib because I like to take notes with calligraphy pens. It keeps me entertained, alongside bright-colored inks. It is a great size but probably wouldn't work well for serious calligraphy-writing as it is almost too fine to see a width difference. This is a Lamy, so you know it's going to be high-quality.

Got this pen today & wrote all evening with it at work, what a pleasure! It's as light as a feather, with flat placement points for your finger & thumb to help maintain proper nib position on the page. The option of cartridge or converter is very nice. I'm ordering another size soon...

I bought this pen for myself last year for my birthday. I am very happy with the purchase and the quick delivery of JetPens. I was hesitant at first on buying such an expensive pen, because I wasn't use to paying so much for a pen. However, I now see it as an investment. In the throw-away society we live in today and the amount of writing I do, I use to go through one disposable pen a week. What a waste! I'm glad I switched to fountain pens because I am making a better change for the environment and my wallet! I use this pen often when I am writing cards or letters, but for note taking and daily writing I would suggest a smaller nib. I am very satisfied with JetPen customer service and with my Lamy Joy pen. I would definitely recommend this site and calligraphy pen to friends.
