## Description

Life is a jungle, and the Lamy Safari pen can take you through it one stroke at a time. The Safari was voted as Best Pen Under $100 in Stylus Magazine's 2007 review and is one of the most popular lines of Lamy, a world-famous pen company headquartered in Germany. The body is made of sturdy and colorful ABS plastic and features a flexible brass wire chrome clip and comfort molded grip section.

Review: All around great fountain pen. - Safari is a cartridge/converter fill pen; the proprietary (Lamy T10) 0.5 mL cartridges are relatively small but sufficient for everyday use. If you plan to write a lot, you would be better off changing to a piston converter (about $5) and refill from an ink bottle. The windows on either side of the lower end of the body expose the remaining ink level. Safari tends to write "dry" (not a lot of ink pours through the nib), which may lead to "skipping" when writing fast; this can be partially remedied by using a fast flowing ink (Noodler's). If you are a very fast writer, test the Safari at the pen store before purchasing. Waterman, Pelikan or Quink inks work well in this pen, but Noodler's is my favorite. Safari's body is made of ultra strong ABS plastic (same as Legos) and comes in many colors. Its clip is a solid piece of springy steel wire, virtually indestructible, shaped in the form of a paper clip giving it a secure clasp. I carried this pen in my shirt-pocket when physically very active sailing, trekking and on photo safari over the years; never lost it. Another great feature of Safari is that the nibs are interchangeable, and available from extra fine to broad, plus unique nibs such as Oblique and stub Italic in widths up to 1.9mm. Most Lamy nibs (Z50) are Fe-Ni-Cr stainless steel alloy. For "lefties" there is the Z50 LH nib and for beginner schoolchildren the Z50 Aufanger helps them develop handwriting skills. Generally steel nibs are not as smooth to write with as premium gold nibs, but Lamy is the exception. Lamy nibs consistently write smoothly and without skipping, provided the right ink is used and the pen is handled correctly. The reader should also be aware that nibs on Eastern pens (Japanese) differ from those produced in the West. The main difference to remember is that a MEDIUM nib on a Western pen is correspondent to a BROAD nib on an Eastern one. If you need a fine line, the extra fine nib on the Safari will not be fine enough! Pens with western nibs write wider lines than their Eastern counterparts. Finally, the Safari is an inexpensive entry-level pen with high-end qualities, its craftsmanship, elegant ergonomic design and overall quality makes it attractive to beginners and veterans alike. It is a great first pen and a reliable everyday go-to pen.
Review: Great writing/drawing experience - Bought with an adapter that lets me suck ink up into the reservoir. Used for an art project, has a good feel and output quality. The ink level window was a big help, and I like the color options. Lightweight was also a bonus for long texturing sessions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great writing/drawing experience

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great as a First, Second, or even Fiftieth Fountain Pen
*by P***I on July 2, 2016*

The LAMY Safari is a great buy for those looking for their first fountain pen, a traveling fountain pen, or a backup/secondary fountain pen. Although the design has been around for a while, it still looks modern and the material, which is or is similar to ABS plastic from what I've read, is very durable as I've owned two Safaris now for multiple years with nothing more than slight abrasions from my keys on them. Both of my pens (one with a Fine nib and one with a Medium) wrote very well out of the box: no skipping and little to no difficulty in getting them to start writing. They still write well to this day (7/1/2016). I do have to mention a couple of things: 1. LAMY Nibs write large compared to Japanese (and even some other Western companies) Nibs. A LAMY Fine nib, for example, might write as "large" as a Pilot Medium nib. It's somewhat difficult to write Japanese/Chinese characters with the Fine nib and very difficult with the Medium nib, although not impossible by any means 2. It didn't come with a converter when I bought it and I don't believe it does now, so you'll need to factor in the z24 converter if you want to use ink from a bottle rather than cartridges 3. You're stuck with LAMY nibs if you want to swap them out. It's easy to do so, but they're proprietary so no using regular #6 or #5 nibs 4. The grip is a dividing factor for many people, although I like it If you're looking for alternatives, the Pilot Metropolitan and the TWSBI Eco both bring good values to the table as well with Pilot's great reputation and price and the TWSBI's demonstrator design at such a low price. Although many also purchase a Jinhao to start off with, the LAMY Safari is a much safer bet Quality Control wise, although the designs of the "Jinhao"s are sound in and of themselves. For those hoping I get to the point, the LAMY Safari is a great fountain pen for those purchasing their first, second, or even fiftieth fountain pen.
