Fill your senses with vivid colour courtesy of the limited-edition Violet LAMY Safari Fountain Pen. A deep and mysterious shade, the Violet finish is a delicious twist on an icon right down the the matching metal clip.
The LAMY Safari is a timelessly modern pen that's in a class of its own. Sturdy plastic with metal clip, ergonomic grip and a black chromium-plated steel nib, the LAMY Safari’s ink-view grip and spring-action metal clip are distinctive features that add to the bold feel of this standout pen. Lightweight and easy to use, the Safari is a robust and fun introduction (or re-introduction) to the joys of handwriting.
Won't be buying - too many fountain pens already!
BUT, If you're starting off with one of these, you'll be making a sound choice. Well designed - the shaped grip helps you to get ink on the paper in the most effective way. The medium nib slides across the surface very easily (many people prefer a fine nib - Lamy 'M' is fairly broad).
I first used Lamy Safari pens as a student taking lecture notes a loooong time ago - and I still get satisfaction from using them far above other writing tools. Makes for a fine avatar too!
On my desk at the moment: Bright Orange Lamy Safari; Metalic Blue Lamy AL-Star; Metalic Red Lamy AL-Star. All with different coloured inks!
