Review: One of the Best Entry Level (and Beyond) Pens - When you first learn the basics of fountain pen writing, you need a no-nonsense pen that writes reliably, consistently, helps you learn the best way to hold a pen, is sturdy enough to be dropped off the desk more than once, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The Lamy Safari does all of that. And when you are ready to go to the next level, try different nibs, or try bottled ink instead of cartridges, the Lamy Safari is still there with you. Since it's a cartridge/converter pen, you can choose how you feed it ink. And if you are capable of putting a one inch long piece of Scotch Tape over your nib and pull it straight out, the nib comes right off and can be replaced by any other Lamy nib (except Lamy 2000 nibs), to include the $130 14k gold nib. Lamy even offers stub nibs in different sizes compatible with the Safari. The nibs are usually steel, and relatively stiff, so line variation is minimal at best. If you put too much pressure on it, and ruin the nib, you can get a replacement from online retailers in 4 regular sizes (EF, F, M, B) and three stub widths (1.1mm, 1.5mm, 1.9mm) as well as a "Cursive Nib) that's designed to write East Asian scripts, starting at $16 each. Installing your new nib takes about five seconds, wait for the feed to fill the nib slit with ink (you can help to prime the nib by squeezing a drop of ink from your cartridge/converter), and you're back in business. The pen's grip section is tri-lobed; the round nib sections has three relatively large flat spots on it to help guide your fingers to hold it in a way that gives you maximum control and the least amount of fatigue. If you've used a different grip to hold your pens/pencils, this may present a bit of a learning curve, but if you have no "bad habits" to unlearn, you'll be writing like a pro in no time. If you're coming from the world of Biros (ballpoint, gel rollers, rollerballs), it will take you a couple of writing sessions to teach your hand that you don't have to press down on the pen to get it to write. The stiffness of this pen's nib will be forgiving for too much pressure without damaging it. A properly tuned fountain pen should be capable of leaving a clearly defined solid line by you holding the tail end with two fingers, the nib on the paper, and you pulling the nib on the paper; downward pressure on the nib is not required, unless something is wrong with the nib, or the ink. With the sturdiness of this pen, and very little abuse, this pen can easily last 20 years...that means it can take you from grade school all the way to your ABA exam...or whichever career goal you have in mind.
Review: Fine Nib? More like Medium Nib. - The Good: - Pen is super smooth and easy to write with. I tend to write very small and precise, and my grip on a normal pen is quite tight. That leads to my hand getting tired quickly when writing, which means I don't do a whole lot of it. This pen has renewed my desire to write stuff down, which is a great feeling. - Design is solid, very light and easy to write with. Nice matte/satin finish. - Ink dries quickly in my grid Moleskine notebook that I use as a Project Journal for my hobbies, and I don't see any bleed. I wait a few seconds before turning the page, and I don't have any problems. The Bad: - The "fine" nib is a joke. It's way more like a medium, unless you write enormous. I'm used to using the small Zebra metal pens, as I like how precise they are. I found that the Lamy Fine nib produces a line that is just a tad too thick for my liking, but I don't really see much of a difference between the Fine and EF writing comparisons that I've seen. I may give an EF nib a shot eventually, but for now I'll just deal with it. I didn't dock a star because the pen really is great, and it may just be my small handwriting. This is by far my biggest complaint with the pen. I see that it is a common complaint, but I really didn't expect it to be so thick. - The ink dries quickly, but has a very faded look to it. This looks cooler with premium inks, but with the Lamy ink it makes it look lower-quality. I mean, I didn't really expect incredible ink, but it just doesn't look like anything fancy. Great pen for beginners, I highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why did my pen begin skipping and not writing at all?  I put in a new cartridge and same thing. If nib is clogged, how do I clean it?**
A: A few suggestions for your problem, Warren. Firstly, I've found that cartridges just don't work as well as bottled ink. For cleaning, remove the cartridge, insert a converter, and fill the pen with plain (preferably filtered) luke warm water from a glass and empty it out. Do this a few times until the water coming out of the pen is clear. If you don't have a converter then unscrew the nib, drop the whole assembly in the glass and rinse it in the water, changing the water until clear. I suggest cleaning the nib in this way every time you fill it.

**Q: How does it compare to Pilot Metropolitan in writing experience? Which one is a smoother writer?**
A: There are so many variable combinations (ink, paper, nib size...) it's hard to give a definitive answer. I own both pens. My Metropolitan is much smoother than my Safari. Asian nibs are finer, so a Pilot M is going to be more like a Lamy F. If using a good bottled ink with a converter, you may find the Pilot M to be a bit wet. Both write well on copier-grade paper, but you may find the Lamy to be a bit scratchier. Beyond that, it kind of comes down to aesthetics. Do you like the modern lines and materials of the Lamy, or the classic, smooth lines of the Pilot?

**Q: How "fine" is the fine tip? How does it compare to the other Lamy tip widths (extra-fine, medium)?**
A: It is not a fine tip in my opinion. It is smooth and has a generous width in its imprint, so for this reason it could easily be called a medium.

**Q: Can you change the nib to another LAMY nib of another size?**
A: Absolutely. Lamy nibs come in EF, F, M, B, 1.1 stub, 1.5 stub, 1.9 stub and are all interchangeable. I love the 1.1 stub and 1.5 stub and the extra flair they give my handwriting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great first fountain pen
*by N***I on December 20, 2025*

Great first fountain pen! This was my first pen and I am glad it was. The triangular grip helps ensure that you are holding the pen correctly which is more helpful than people realize. I am a lefty and so I was very worried that it would smear or write super thick making fountain pens unusable. Once I had the pen in hand this was not really an issue for me at all. There were occasional smudges, but nothing that was remotely more than a regular gel pen, if not less.
