Welcome back, and Happy Holidays! This week we’re bringing you a really exciting review and giveaway! In the spirit of the Holidays, we’ve decided to review and giveaway the newly released Lamy Aion Fountain Pen. Continue reading below for a review of a great pen, and your chance to win the Lamy Aion that we used in this review.
Appearance
The Lamy Aion Fountain Pen is a classy looking pen. It is available in two different colors: Olivesilver and Black. The Aion has a compression fit cap, that fits snug and tight, and is able to be posted. Also, the cap comes with a sturdy clip that has just enough give to it for ease of use. The Lamy Aion’s nib is shaped slightly different from Lamy’s other fountain pens such as the Al-Star and the Safari. Although, Lamy’s traditional replacement nibs will still fit on the Aion.
Qualities
The Lamy Aion Fountain Pen comes with one Lamy ink cartridge as well as a Lamy LZ26 fountain pen converter. It is an average length and measures out to be 5.6 inches, but you can post it to increase the length to 6.4 inches. Also, it is approximately half an inch in diameter, which makes the grip section comfortable to hold. The Lamy Aion weighs in $89 USD retail, and we have it on sale on our site for $71.20 USD.
Performance
The Lamy Aion Fountain Pen’s performance exceeds expectations. We used a Olivesilver Lamy Aion Fountain Pen with a Medium nib in this review. Also, we inked the pen up with Monteverde Ocean Noir. The nib was smooth, out of the box, and needed no further tuning for a pleasant writing experience. Although it was was a medium nib, the Aion laid down a thick wet line of ink. Definitely a wet writer, but your experiences may vary. All in all, a great quality pen with a pleasurable writing experience.

This is an amazing giveaway! I have wanted this pen since I saw the pre-release pictures of it months and months ago. Fingers crossed. I would like to see a review/comparison for the “Invincible” inks. Various brands of permanent or archival ink with the pros and cons and them.
I have long desired one of these pens. Would be great to win. Merry Christmas, indeed!
It looks very sleek and has an interesting body design. Glad to hear it writes well!
I would enjoy seeing more reviews of blue inks, especially in the aqua/turquoise shades. Thanks!
The Lamy Aion looks like a great pen. I’d like to see a review of Pilot Iroshizuku Tsutsuki (sp.)
I haven’t used any Lamy other than the safari. This is interesting.
nice understated design.
Absolutely gorgeous
It really is sleek looking isn’t it! What a great addition to any collection! Great review!
I’ve liked Lamy’s aesthetic and quality for awhile, and while I’ve never been particularly interested in getting a 2000 or a Studio, I find myself looking at the “buy” button next to the Aion an awful lot. =)
I really like calligraphy pens and would like to see a review of the Lamy Joy Calligraphy Fountain Pens. Thank you
Looks pretty
The Aion sounds better than I expected. Would love a review if the Visconti Jade.
My favorite ink is the Lamy Petrol! It’s a well behaved Ink with a beautiful dark teal color. It’s too bad I only have 1 bottle 🙁
I’m really looking forward to seeing reviews of the Lamy vibrant pink Al-Star and ink when they come out next year!
My favorite ink at the moment is probably Diamine Asa Blue.
Looks great.
Current favorite ink is now diamine shimmering seas!
Really enjoy learning about different pens you review! Thanks for the chance to win this Lamy Aion!
I don’t generally enter these things, but this pen looks really cool.
Oh, would love this pen, perhaps paired with an Organic Studio…Walden pond?!?
What a beautiful pen! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway. I would like to see reviews of blue/black inks – my current fascination. Thanks!
This pen is gorgeous…so sleek! After all the rave reviews, I’d love to have one for myself. Thanks for the opportunity!
Beautiful pen. Thank you for the review. I have been curious about this pen for a while.
Veryh nice looking pen. Lamy did it again
Nice review. Thank you for the opportunity to win.
I am just getting into fountain pens and inks, so any reviews are very helpful. And that Lamy is a very nice looking pen.
I’d like to see reviews of the Organics Studio inks.
That is a lovely pen.
Some more color would be nice, but the overall shape is nice and sleek.
Great review. Could you review some of the inks from Krishna next?
I’m really excited about this pen; it looks great! I would love to see more reviews of vibrant red/orange/pink inks!
I hope they come out with more colors.
Beautiful pen! Thanks for the review.
If simplicity is the new sophistication, Lamy has a hit with this pen!
For ink reviews, I would like to learn more about inks that change color over time. I like the idea of using iron gall inks, but understand they are not safe for fountain pens.
I’m a recent re-entrant to the fountain pen world. This pen looks lovely. I don’t have a favorite ink yet, but the Pilot Iroshizuku bottles are very pretty.
Looks good. Would look even better between my Vista and blue-green Al-star.
Wow! Thanks for an awesome giveaway! Happy holidays to all at PenChalet!
I love lamy!
Another great review!!! I’ve been looking at this Lamy Aion since it came out and I would certainly welcome one into my small pen collection. Thank you for your generous giveaways and quality reviews! I would like to see reviews of the Sailor 1911L and Pro Gear if possible.
Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to see Pen Chalet review budget “disposable” fountain pens like the Thornton Office Supply pens or Zebra’s “new” disposables.
Never had a Lamy. Thanks for the opportunity to win this one.
This pen is classic! Great looking pen! I would love to have the chance to use it!
I love my Lamy Safari and would very much love to try one of their more professional looking models. There’s not a store remotely close to me to go to so I could try one out and it is a big expense for me to buy blindly. I would love this.
I love Lamy – my go to!
cool! really very nice looking pen. Thanks for the giveaway and happy holidays!
I have some Waterman Purple, which I really like.
I would love to hear more about any of new Monteverde Noir inks, thanks! Happy Holidays!
This is an interesting design from Lamy
