LAMY safari Fountain Pen - steel black
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 matte steel black safari comes with an interchangeable black steel nib, which can be easily swapped out for another size, and matching black trim. 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
I asked and Goulet pens came through. Asked what would work best on deckle paper and they suggested the lamy safari with a medium nib. It glides over standard paper and leaves a nice dark line on my deckle paper with no breaks in the line. Very happy.
This is my secong Lamy Safari. I was dumbstruck with how smoothly it writes compared to other fountain pens I own, none of them real pricey.
Steady as she goes, always reliable and a great pen for every occasion.
Like all LAMY pens, the Safari in steel black is no exception to the quality LAMY puts into all their fine writing instruments.
I love the stealthiness of the Steel Black which also has a Black Nib!
I paired it with a Forest Green ink and it looks great.
Have fun and keep creative...
Medium nib. My favorite nib weight. The color is very cool. Which makes it even more enjoyable to draw and write with.
