Lamy Nexx M Aluminum Body Fountain Pen - Extra Fine Steel Nib - Anthracite Cap + Metal Clip

The Lamy Nexx M is slight modification to the standard Nexx fountain pen, with that modification (or in this case, improvement) being a metal clip on the cap instead of plastic. The clip, matching the barrel, makes for an modern looking pen. In addition, the metal clip adds a little weight to the pen, noticable when you post the cap. For some reason, the cap on the Nexx M posts better than the cap on my Nexx. This make for a nice balanced pen.

The nibs on a Lamy always write big, but I'm surprised at the line created by the Extra Fine (EF) nib on the Nexx M. Nice and even and not as thin as extra fine implies.

Overall, 5 stars for both design apperance and performance. Do yourself a favor and add a Nexx M to your Lamy collection.

I am reviewing this pen based on my experience with the Safari and how much I want this pen in comparison to it. It seems to be just like the safari but significantly upgraded, and the great safari grip is now in rubber and more comfortable. The aluminum in this pen is a step up in durability and it looks fantastic. The clip no longer looks like a big toy paperclip, either. I did not like the plastic clip on the normal Nexx, but this is awesome! Please restock this pen so I can buy one. Lamy is testing out the Nexx M for the American Market demand. Yes, there is demand. It would be nice if there was an ink window like the safari. I will likely drill a slot so I can see the ink. It is aluminum, so I don't have to worry about it cracking :)
