The LAMY safari is a workhorse pen, known throughout the fountain pen community for its ruggedness, reliability, and no-nonsense functionality. The triangular grip makes it great for those starting out who have no idea how to hold a fountain pen, but it's used and loved by fountain pen lovers of all levels of experience.
This white Safari comes with an interchangeable silver steel nib, which can be easily swapped out for another size. 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.

Customer Reviews
One of the best fountain pens -- great feel, very responsive, easy care.
Really easy to get used to and writes great!
I love the Lamy pens and already had 4 of them. I love the way they fit my hand and write. The big complaint I have about the white one is the white goes done to the nib and gets stained. I am not able to remove the ink. I have a pink and a red Safari and I don't have this problem.
About the pen, it could improve in the converter, which is small and needs to be refiled often, compared to other fountain pen that I had. I love the care that Goulet Pen Comp had packaging it. Nibs tend to be fragile, and they took that into consideration when packaging it for delivery - protecting the pen. I'll keep ordering fountain pens through this company because of the packaging process.
Lamy has been my go to brand so far, and I love this one just as much. It is currently inked with Noodlers Eel Blue, and using a Fine nib.
