If you're looking for a fountain pen that combines style, functionality, and affordability, look no further than the Lamy Safari. It's truly a writing instrument worth investing in.

To be short and sweet: this is just an excellent fountain pen, period. If you're just starting out with fountain pens, or if you want to get a travel pen, or a pen for that funky color that you don't use a lot, or to keep at the office. Look no further, this is the one for you.My main fountain pen started smelling mildewy, so I wanted to get a cheap pen to figure out if it was the pen or the ink. I had always been curious about these Lamy pens, and I was shocked to see there was one for just about $20, so I finally got one. Because I filled it with my favorite ink, I've been using it a lot over the past few weeks, and I have grown very fond of it. It has a pretty good size and it feels solid enough as a daily writer. I do prefer a heavier pen, and I would like it better if the barrel were round instead of the triangular profile. I had to adjust my writing angle to make that sit right in my hand. Not a big deal but ultimately I think the pen should not dictate how you hold it. I kind of like the pull-off cap, although I expect that to loosen up over timeMy expectation was that it would be a total dud, writing wise, not necessarily because I expected it to be a bad pen, but I expected it would just not hold up to a Meisterstuck or a Duofold. Of course the fine pens are built so much better, and they do feel a lot better, but I have to say as a daily writer, you can't go wrong with this one. It's very light, which I prefer a bit of weight, but it writes great! It is a good size, and the medium nib give you a solid flow. I've used it with the cartridge that came with it, and then with Diamana ink and both are just really nice to use.I never expected to like it this much, especially because I've tried a number of Parkers and Shaeffers in the $50-$75 range and was disappointed every time. The plan was to toss it when I figure out the ink situation. I'll still go back to my trusty old fancy pen for my daily writer, but this pen is a keeper!

I haven't had a fountain pen in years, so jumped at the chance to get this one. I am SO glad I did.Very easy to write with, and leaves a very good line on the paper. It is engineered to be easy to hold - and it is. Very comfortable, and easy to write for a while. The window allows you to see how much ink is in the pen, which I think is brilliant. I haven't used it enough yet to know how easy that is to see, but I'm sure it will be fine since you can see straight thru.The clip is both great, and kind of bad. It holds the pen very securely and I am quite confident this thing will never fall out of a pocket unless it's my fault. At the same time it can be a bit difficult to get it to clip to that pocket due to how strong the clip is. Since I'd rather have strong than easy, I like it.All in all I really like the lightness and quality I feel from this pen. I tend to be a bit of a pen snob, and am not always the easiest to satisfy - but this one does the trick.

Pros- Great price for an excellent entry level pen. Cheap enough to see if you'll enjoy writing with a fountain pen.- Low key- Durable construction- Comfortable grip- Window to see ink levelCons- Not very durable finish- A bit bulky for pockets, pen holders and notebook spinesAs a child going through school I was very enthusiastic about my writing instruments. The need for putting pen to paper has been on the decline until recently. Now in my early 30's my corporate job requires a certain amount of hand-written note taking to organize my thoughts. I wanted to see if I could reignight some of that same enthusiasm for hand-writing with this pen. I can happily say that over the past 9 months, this Lamy pen served as a gateway for the other 2 pens I have bought recently.The following are the highlights for this pen:1) Buy the refillable cartridge.Provided you don't lose the pen, the cartridge and ink will pay for itself in money and time saved from having to order refills etc. The act of refilling the cartridge and dipping the nib also keeps the pen from getting clogged . If the pen does ever get clogged, you can also use the catridge to purge water or ink through to clean things out.2) Use the fine nib.I find that thick/artistic nibs may cause the ink to seep through notepaper or blotch and make my handwriting (even more) difficult to read. The Lamy typically comes with a fine nib, but if you're given the option, I would suggest sticking with it.3) Low key and comfortable.This Lamy pen is mostly made of plastic (with exception of the clip). While it means this is not the perfect anniversary gift or graduation present, it is something I look for in a functional "workhorse" pen. Aside from the materials and grip being comfortable it is not cold to the touch. This is something you wont think about until you own a metal body pen. I am not one to collect and compare time pieces (....watches), tie clips, money clips and business cards. I do not want to project the image of being a pompus executive when all I want to do is enjoy the mundane task of taking notes during a meeting. One of the pro's for this pen is how low key it is. This is a working pen that looks good, but not obnoxious.4) Durability.The Lamy is solid and had survived many drops, accidental throws and countless disassemblies for refilling the cartridge. While the mechanics are solid, the aesthetics have been about average. More specifically, the subtle matte finish on the plastic body has worn a bit inconsistently. The spots where I handle the pen the most are now polished, which gives the overall pen a bit of an uneven finish. Take a look at the spacebar on the keyboard you are using right now. The effect is less pronounced, but very similar. While this is obvious to me, only someone paying close attention would notice.5) Bulky.Not something you would think of when shopping for your fountain pen, but this Lamy does not fit into the compartmentalized pen holders in all of my briefcases. Due to the large body and squared off ends (as opposed to the traditional "torpedo" shape), it can be akward getting this pen into the compartments when I am in a rush. The size and shape also makes it difficult to fit into the spine of my notebooks.Overall, this is a great pen for the price. I took away 1 star because of my durability and size obserations, but recognize it is due to the way I use the pen and my specific applications. I would still recommend this pen to others.

This pen is wonderful to use! It has a great grip that’s comfortable to hold and the medium sized nib is a good size! There’s no issue with leaks or running ink. 🖋️ it’s a great, versatile pen!

Very enjoyable pen to write with and not breaking the bank

Bought this as a second Lamy Safari to use with different ink. Excellent pen. The only downside is it doesnt come with a converter which i had forgotten. This drives the price up a lot as those are 18 plus tax. So you are paying quite a bit in the end 35+18+tax. But it is a very good pen and i have had my other lamy for years.As a side note i got my first Lamy before there was taxes on things on amazon, which made my first pen even cheaper. Ah... the good old days. Now they even tax used stuff on amazon that was already taxed when new 🤨

O produto é original, consequentemente, de excelente qualidade. As canetas tinteiro da marca Lamy nunca deixam a desejar com seu rigoroso sistema de qualidade e o quão inestimáveis elas sã com seu design atemporal.Tudo ótimo com o produto em si, mas a entrega... A ENTREGA! Não sei de quem foi a ideia de girico de tirar a caneta da caixa e mandar assim, enrolada em um saquinho plástico dentro de um saco que é várias vezes o tamanho da caneta. Sinceramente! Assim não dá para elogiar a entrega Amazon! Fico feliz que tenha chegado 20 dias antes do prazo, mas pelamor, né? Uma das partes mais importantes de comprar uma Lamy é a garantia de dois anos que vem na caixa da caneta! Eu perdi completamente essa garantia por conta da forma como foi enviada!Assim, deduzi uma estrela, mas digo que foi única e exclusivamente por conta desse total descuido.A caneta em si é 5 estrelas! Escreve suave e é bem ergonômica, adorei a textura do corpo e como absorve o calor da mão em longas sessões de escrita.

As Expected from Lamy, another very good pen.

No necesitas un ángulo específico para que pinte, es muy fácil de usar, ideal para principiantes. Me encanta para escribir, es fácil cambiar el cartucho. La linea es muy uniforme casi como un bolígrafo normal. Si buscas una pluma que te de diferentes grosores talvez esta no es la mejor opción. A mi me funciona perfecto para tomar notas y hacer dibujos arquitectónicos sin mucho detalle. Es cómoda y la estética me fascina
