Lamy Safari Fountain Pens Reviews

The Safari is a must try for every person using fountain pens. Even if they are not your favorite style or writing pen, I believe everyone should at least try one and see for themselves. How easy it is to swap nib sizes and the ability to include the calligraphy nibs make this model at only ~$30 a no brainer. Add the color variety on top of that and you have a reason to start collecting them.

My new EDC fountain pen (Every Day Carry). Stuffed in my "possibles" bag that drag everywhere with me - it is so reliable, and I just love the EF nib - ! My only problem is to keep it away from my daughter....looks like I will have to purchase another one soon...

When I first saw these pens, I thought they were hideous. Then I got curious and had to get one. I've since ordered a white and a charcoal Safari here, and I'm always using them. For my purposes (teaching and creative writing), there's a lot to like:

-lightweight body - easy on the hand for extended writing
-smooth nibs that make writing nearly effortless
-a big sturdy clip that actually does what it's supposed to do (without mangling my shirt pockets)
-a useful ink window
-generous-sized cartridges(if not using converters)
-durability (I mean, these WERE built with school in mind...)
-relatively dry flow makes wetter inks usable on more kinds of paper
-nib-swapping is fairly affordable and extremely easy
-great lineup of colors - something for everyone

Now they're not perfect, mind you. The nibs are usually quite good but can vary widely. The fine on my white Safari is silky smooth but writes pretty broad for my tastes (I often reverse-write with it on low-quality paper); meanwhile, the black fine on my charcoal Safari is a true fine, still smooth but with some pleasant feedback. (And if you don't like your nib...good thing you can easily get a replacement one and don't have to buy a whole new pen!)

You also have to know whether that triangular section will give you problems or not. Some love it, some hate it. It's no dealbreaker for me, so I'll continue to use and enjoy my Safaris.

Good daily pen. The extra fine nib allows me to write a lot in a small space.

My wife was very pleased to receive the gift of a LAMY Safari model fountain pen.
We are both fans of Lamy products because of their designs and ruggedness.
We've frequently given them to family members to celebrate graduations, birthdays etc.
Pen Chalet has become out source for these fine products.

THIS IS MY FIRST FOUNTAIN PEN. I BOUGHT IT FOR DRAWING AND I LOVE IT. IT TOOK LITTLE GETTING USED TO BUT THE INK FLOWS VERY WELL AND THE LINE IS AWESOME. THIS PEN HAS AN EXTRAFINE NIB AND I JUST ORDERED ANOTHER LAMY WITH A FINE NIB. CANT WAIT TO GET IT.

Always a great pen. This was a very good price. I have 8 or 9 Lamy pens and they have never let me down.

This fountain pen literally got me into learning so much more about fountain pens! It writes so smoothly, and the black on black looks so sleek. I highly recommend grabbing this one if you're interested in trying out a fountain pen - skip the $10 options and just go straight to this. You will be so happy you did. The shipping was also so fast from Pen Chalet and great customer service!

First fountain pen I have owned in over 60 years! My oldest son has several in his collection. I decided to try one out and am very happy with this model. I was looking for one that is comfortable to hold, and this one is!

Standard workhorse pen. if you are new in the fountain pen game make this purchase. With the easily interchangeable nibs, you can try out the different sizes to your liking. If you are a veteran fountain pen user you still need at least one Lamy to make your collection complete!
