This LAMY 2000, LAMY's flagship fountain pen, is made of brushed stainless steel. This pen features a hooded platinum-plated 14k gold nib and uses a piston-filling mechanism to fill from bottled ink. The LAMY 2000 is so revered that it is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art and has won countless design awards.

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.

Love everything about this pen! The weight makes me feel like I’m holding a thing of substance and I love that !!! The writing experience makes me finally enjoy cursive endeavors once more . I signed a contract using the ballpoint from the salesman and I commented on how I felt awkward —- then I took out my LAMY and he used my pen a bit… you should have seen his face . That led to a full fledged discussion. Made another convert to Goulet. Always my pleasure!!!😉🥰🖋️

Smooth as it comes

Love the look! I have the carbon one of the Lamy 2000 and have been eyeing this one for a while. Does not disappoint. Writes smoothly and a dream. Glad I finally bit the bullet and purchased it for my collection!Shipment was fast and packaged with great care!

Lives up to its reputation

Absolutely love the pen, it's especially amazing for its price point. And even though the urban legend of it being on display at the MoMA is untrue, it's wonderful enough that I wish it were actually there.

It's a beauty

I am so glad I opted for the stainless over the makrolon. It's simply a beautiful, inviting pen with the type of weight/gravitas I love. The extra fine nib is actually more like a juicy fine, totally reliable in its impeccable performance. The aesthetic design is perhaps beyond compare and I think a case can be made that this idealised design rises to greater heights in the stainless steel, like a mirage just beyond the horizon

FAQs about Fountain Pens

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above. 

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

  • Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
  • Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
  • Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
  • Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
  • Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

How often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. 

Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

My pen won’t write! What do I do? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.

We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.

If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed. 

If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help! 

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

You can submit a return request within 30 days of your order date. You can read all our Return Policies here.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
