Nib Holder

October 16, 2015

Does LAMY make a nib holder for the Safari/Al-Star nibs?

I'd like to eventually have 1 of each size of nib, but then thought, maybe they sell a full set in a nice case? or sell a case/holder on it's own, but, not seeing one.

Does such a thing exist? if not, LAMY should make one... otherwise, I guess I can get a 7 day pill holder... I think they make 8 nib sizes, so, 7 day pill holder, 1 for each nib + the nib in use. Rather have a nice branded holder though.

I am not an expert on Lamy accessories. I put my spare nibs (Lamy and Goulet nibs) in the little 6 ml sample vials that Goulet Pens sells. I put a small piece of paper inside with the nib information written on it. I keep these in a drawer. I think a pill container would be fine too.

Actually, I have a few nibs from a dip pen that I did the exact same thing with.

I figured with LAMY, they'd have some sort of 'set' you could purchase. Odd having a nib system that's easy to swap without removing the ink cartridge or feed, and not expect people to want to buy the nibs as a full set.

Maybe I'll email them... maybe they just never thought of it.

Lamy has more than 8 different nib sizes for the safari / al-star: A, EF, F, M, B,OB, OM, MK, (LH) ,1.1, 1.5,1.9. This sums up to 11 nibs, excluding the LH nib because I assume you're right handed. However, I've seen those Z50 OB and OM nibs, but does anyone of you own one?
