LAMY Safari Retro White & Black Fountain Pen
The LAMY Safari is a timelessly modern pen for the young and the young at heart and is in a class of its own. It created a stir during its market launch at the beginning of the eighties with its avant-garde design and its prominent, spring-loaded clip.
This fountain pen comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away. If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.
Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

The black trim on white is really striking, especially when compared to my other pens. And the medium nib is a dream.
I was given a Lamy Safari as my first fountain pen back in the 80s when I was in middle school. I loved that pen, the grip was so comfortable, and it just glided thru the pages. This retro is precisely like that pen, in a word, exceptional.
