Product Description
Originally designed for school kids, adult consumers picked up the Safari and found its comfortable feel to be the perfect fit in their world. Extremely hard-wearing ABS plastic has two side mouldings for easy grip, and the barrel's flat sides prevent it from slipping off your desk. Non-traditional rich grey color makes it stand out among the rest.
Fountain pen does NOT come with a converter--be sure to order one if you like to bottle-fill! Material: ABS Plastic. Warranty: Lifetime. Weight: Light. MANUFACTURERS WILL ONLY HONOR WARRANTIES ON PRODUCTS PURCHASED FROM AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. DON'T GET BURNED, BUY AUTHORIZED.

 Great Pen, Great Buy! March 8, 2010
Gigi K. (California)
I've been writing with fountain pens since the age of six (no, I'm not kidding -- when I was in grade school in Germany, we were taught to write only with fountain pens), so after quite a few decades I consider myself an experienced user. I don't do calligraphy but use fountain pens exclusively for taking notes. I prefer a medium nib that writes smoothly. My favorite pens so far have been my old Geha from my school days and a cheap Sheaffer that writes like a dream. I also have a Pelikan that scratches horribly despite its expensive gold nib. Today I got my Lamy Safari, and it prompted me to write my first review. You could say it was "love at first stroke!" The pen is lightweight plastic with a slightly rough surface and very comfortable to grip. It is not the prettiest with its rather bland industrial look, but the smooth writing experience more than makes up for its lack of looks. This is my new favorite pen. I'm very pleased with this purchase and the way the pen writes. Not at all what I expected for $25!
Lamy Safari Fountain Pen March 5, 2010

I have the following fountain pens: a Montblanc 146, Parker, Monteverde, Cross Townsend and a host of others. But the Lamy Safari Charcoal with a med nib writes smooth and for the price of $25.00 is a steal. I use it every day instead of a ballpoint. I use a converter and the ink supply lasts for about a week. I like it because if I happen to drop it on its nib or someone walks off with it, it would bother me less than if someone had taken my 146.
Very straight forward, everyday pen. February 5, 2010

I collect fountain pens and have several very nice items, but I was always reluctant to use them everyday at work. I teach school and I like to use a fountain when I grade papers and make notes to my students on their assignments. The fountain pen makes a very bold and unique statement to the students (this is your teacher speaking) without being threatening as a red pen can. The ink also bonds with the paper & will not let an industrious cheat change a grade or comment. I tried the Lamy Safari fountain pen in medium and could not be more pleased. It writes every bit as nicely as a Waterman or Levenger pen, but at a cost level which I feel comfortable with using the pen every day at school without worrying about losing it. If I do lose one, it is not a big deal. Since I got my first Safari pen early this semester, I have picked up several others in different colors and use them for everything from writing checks to working in my journal. I love these pens, they have become my every day "go to" workhorses.
Wonderful pen January 23, 2010

I'm a journalist/Public Affairs type and so write a lot. My finished product, I type on a computer, but my thoughts I always write out long-hand. This pen is a wonderful writing experience. I have only used it for three days, but I find it fits my hand perfectly. I laid it on my desk and walked away for about 30 minutes, and someone decided they liked the pen also and nicked it. When I find out who it is, I'll suggest they write a review after they recover.
There is a happy ending. I am ordering another pen and that will make two new happy Lamy pen users in the world.
Great fountain pen January 18, 2010
Binh Vu Le (Cincinnati, OH USA)
It's a great fountain pen in general. The ink flow is very constant, the writing is very smooth.
The grip is very comfy too. I agree with other reviewers. This pen will help you to improve your handwriting. I enjoy writing journal a lot more with this pen.
