2019 Aions From Endless Pens

[bogiesan]

Aion feels great! Weighing in at 33g uninked, it is massive compared to the empty AlStar 20g or Safari 12g. Beautiful design, typical superb Lamy craft, really a cool thing to behold. Writes nicely. The F nib is not quite as fine as I like but it will do.

 

Purchased from Endlesspens.com. The company is new in the USA mail order space. Excellent price ($49 ea plus shipping), order promptly shipped and tracked to my door, and they had the Aion about three weeks before most other suppliers. They have a nice selection of premium brands but you may not find every color/bib combination. The Aion for instance is offered only with F or M.

33g uninked, is that capped or uncapped?

 

I'm starting to like the Aion's design more and more.

Once my Lamy 2000 is back from Lamy and proves to be a reliable writer, I'll put the Aion on my wish-list

 

How does it compare to the Lamy 2000 in terms of handling and balance?

Why would I weigh half of a pen?

 

I don’t have a 2000.

 

Yet.

33 grams? Yikes. I had liked the look of those but that is probably going to be way too heavy a pen for me -- especially since I'm a poster. (I have a TWSBI 580-AL, and that is now my benchmark pen for weight.)

OTOH, I tried someone's Lamy 2000 last night (I think it might have been one of the Makralon ones) and that was a surprise to me: it was not too heavy for me (as opposed to an all metal 2000 I tried a couple of years ago).

I have it, i love the F nib and how it writes. I even like the look, a lot (the black one that I have, but also the upcoming red is lovely). But for my hand it is too heavy, I cannot write long with it. I ink it and use it quite rarely, together with the Pelikan pura and the Faber Castell Loom, because of the same reason: the weight.

 

I love them without using them. Pity.

Thanks for letting us know! The prices are very good on the site, but stock is low. Anybody know anything about the company? I saw a link for "partner in the Philippines" and they claim to want to become the biggest global pen seller.

 

I know these questions go beyond the Lamy forum, but still.

In my view Aion is better balanced and fits hand in a more proper way than Pura because grip is better and it will fit all persons with wet hands. I even feel that Aion is lighter. But I have no information on Pura weight.
