Lamy Safari Fountain Pens Reviews

Great pen, excellent service!!! I use this pen for sketching and drawing this was the right choice For the job. I Also use this write and I will adapt to this for documents, good all around pen.

I purchased the Lamy Safari Charcoal with a black, fine nib. The pen is very light in hand, it almost feels like a high-quality disposable due to the plastic construction. However, the matte charcoal finish is simple and looks great with the black nib. Everyone is surprised by the smoothness of the nib when they borrow it. The sturdy pocket clip and pop-off cap make the pen fantastic for quick writing tasks. I use mine with the proprietary Lamy converter so I can use my bottled inks; the enclosed Lamy blue cartridge is sitting in my drawer waiting for use someday. The grip section is really skinny for my larger hands, but the angled grip forces my fingers into the correct position (including those who borrow the pen for a moment). That's a nice feature for a new fountain pen user like myself. I'll keep this pen inked with colored ink to use for grading essays as the lighter body and smooth nib will make my extensive writing tasks easier on my hands. Overall, I'm pleased with the purchase, and the Lamy Safari will be an everyday use pen that I'm not too concerned about due to its low cost. A decent value, this is a great entry to fountain pens, and a good tool for everyday pocket carrying.

It's a Lamy. I LOVE it.
Looks beautiful. Feels great. Writes amazingly.
You should buy one. No, really, you SHOULD buy one!

I haven’t used a fountain pen in over 40 years. While cleaning out a box of old pens I came across a broken fountain pen and it captured my imagination. I had the urge to write with one and I purchased a Lamy Safari (yellow). I really enjoy writing with it. I particularly like the triangular grip and its light weight. I think it’s a wonderful pen. I now have fountain pen fever.

It was a gift but had a chance to write with it. I love it and might have to get a green or purple one if they have it. Nice ink and doesn’t smudge for a lefty like me.

This was my second LAMY/Safari purchase. Why blue? It's my favorite color. Why Fine? I didn't have one. I felt if was a good member of a usable collection of pens. It writes well, it's comfortable, and it's affordable. Now I need some coordinating colors—perhaps a red and a white? Everyone needs a couple of Safaris.

What a great writing pen! I had some doubts but they were thrown out the window when I starting writing. Pen does look funky but it's so comfortable in hand and writes so smoothly.

I was concerned that the ABS plastic would be weak, I was impressed. It is shiny and strong. The threads are strong. I always use a strong case even for mid level priced pens, but this would be fine in a pencil case. I would not even carry a ballpoint loose in my bag, but the pen could stand the pressure, I just wouldn't want to test it. The red color is true and rich. I always add a converter and italic 1.1mm nib to get my favorite writing experience.

Whenever I ordered several Lamy Safari fountain pens of different body colors, only the blue ink cartridges came along inside the barrels irrespective of the body colors. So I decided to purchase this shiny blue one in order to make good use exclusively of those blue ink cartridges that I have accumulated. It can also be useful when traveling. I generally like to use bottled ink of my choice rather than the cartridge ink by way of utilizing the converters. BTW, since the LAMY text is engraved on the rear end of the barrel, it seems to subtly suggest that I use the pen unposted. Otherwise the logo text becomes invisible by hiding inside the cap when posted. Anyway, the Lamy Safari pens do the writing job reliably and hassle-free.

Very smooth writing pen,easy to use very functional.
