Nice Little Lamy

[TheDutchGuy]

Im not a Lamy fan. Great pens, but not for me. Never found a Safari that wrote well for me. Never held a more expensive Lamy that ticked my boxes. One exception, though.

 

 

I bought a bunch of different steel Lamy nibs some time ago just to find one that might suit me. I assumed the 1.1 would be a stub, but it isnt. Its an italic. One of the most unforgiving nibs Ive ever felt. Deviate from its sweet spot and youre in trouble. But somehow this little pen/nib combination seems to get more and more use, week after week. The wooden ABC feels wonderful in the hand. The nib produces nice, crisp lines that arent too wide and it offers a huge variation between downstrokes and sidestrokes.

 

Intriguing little pen.

Love the abc. Pretty amazing price, too.
