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 barrels 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.

Great Pen! August 15, 2008
Salsa (NY, NY USA)
This pen looks great and writes beautifully as well. It's very comfortable in the hand, and not at all scratchy when you're writing. I really recommend this pen for someone who loves writing with fountain pens but doesn't want to spend a fortune.
Lamy's Safari- one of the best values in fountain pens around! July 20, 2008

Somehow, I find some humor in the fact that this pen is so well rated, yet most reviewers take care to point out that it isn't the prettiest, most overpriced, or fanciest pens around. Unlike many companies, Lamy makes pens and pencils. They don't use pretentious euphemisms for pens like those other companies, nor do they charge 10x-100x what the pens are worth. They do make awesome pens like the Safari, which are indestructible and feel good in the hand, and they make some incredibly smooth nibs.
The Safari does make an awesome starter fountain pen, but it's a starter pen that'll last you your entire life. I recommend a Fine or Medium nib if you're new to a fountain pens. You can even buy spare nibs for the Lamy so that you can swap between different sizes.
Love this pen - smoother than my Mont Blanc!!! March 25, 2008

I decided to switch to a fountain pen for ecological reasons (maybe that was just the excuse I needed to justify the expense). The last fountain pen I owned was a Mont Blanc I had treated myself to after graduating some 25 years ago. That pen was very scratchy and turned me off on fountain pens in general. I was hesitant about buying another fine point after the experience with the Mont Blanc, but the reviews were so good, I thought I'd give it a try. This pen is incredibly smooth. I ordered the pen (cool white color), converter refill and some Noodler's ink from Pencity.com. Their price was great, they had everything I needed and the customer service was wonderful!!!
I was so happy with this pen, I ordered the medium point because I often prefer a slightly bolder stroke. I think it is a great pen and the low price is just a bonus. This pen is perfect for my writing style. It's a little bolder than the fine point but not too bold. Writes even more smoothly than the fine point (didn't think that was possible).
A PLUS for the fine point - good pen to keep in a purse, because of the fine line it can write on any quality paper and still be readable.
 A pretty good, inexpensive tool! February 8, 2008

This is a pretty good writing tool. In addition to the affordable price, the pen writes very smooth and setup (insertion of the cartridge) is very quick & simple. The pen has style and not very much weight to it. It appears that there is a good seal so I do feel comfortable carrying the pen in my pocket.
If you're considering this writting tool, you can't go wrong for $30
Great Pen, Excellent Value February 7, 2008

I have been using this pen at work for about a week and I absolutely love it. The nib is very smooth considering the pen's price, and the pen feels very comfortable thanks to the angled sides on the grip. I usually use a micro point gel pen, and I like this better even though it has a medium nib. The writing looks substantial and I can write in fairly small script legibly. The ink flows very well, I have not experienced any skipping or fading. I like the color of the blue ink that came with the pen and plan to buy these refills for the color alone. This pen has exceeded my expectations in every way.
