Lamy Fountain Pen

Lamy Fountain Pen

The red Lamy Safari pictured above, was my first fountain pen. Even after owning 20+ fountain pens in the last year, my Safaris are still some of my favorite pens Cheap - about $30 with a converter - very cheap for such a well made penVery durable ABS plasticSee through ink window - lets you know when ink is running lowGrip - better handwriting when the pen can be held securelyReplaceable nibs - $11 and very simple to replaceEasy to flush & refill with a different color inkVery firm nib - no flex - great for drawingCustom nib grinding $15 from PendemoniumEven though the Safari is quite wonderful and a great first pen, there are a few things that some people don't like about it. I don't really have any of these problems, though I did have a hard time with Diamine Imperial Purple staining my yellow Safari. Luckily, I was able to get it fully clean again.
