LAMY Safari Ballpoint Pen - Model 217

I purchased this pen for 2 reasons: 1. It's German 2. It's Stylish I take this pen into my office everyday and no one compliments me, but I silently judge all of them for not noticing the sleek perfect craftsmanship of my pen. They don't recognize the distinct effort and curation on my part to select the fanciest of utilitarian items for my desk, but I know that I am superior in this way. The other reasons were hopes that it would be comfortable, reliable, and long lasting. Even the box exudes eccentric German design, letting you know you've purchased a very special pen. I've used these pens before but I always loose them per my fault. This pen is great for non-artistic writing and note taking. I find the hard plastic body especially comfortable in my hands as I have a very firm grip and often press hard on the paper. You can't go wrong with this, it's a luxury pen you can afford.

Great Pen.

Buenos materiales, lo uso a diario, note que en clima cálido la tinta no fluye igual, pero es mi favorito

Though unorthodox in design, this pen seems durable and writes reliably. The click mechanism is solid, but the wide clip isn't too strong. The pen is wide enough to hold comfortably and the surface sports a smooth finish. The body is built from ABS plastic, the same material used to make LEGO bricks. That being said, it is very sturdy. It is, however, a bit light for its size, which makes it convenient to carry around. The pen writes smoothly and the ink does not skip. The Lamy Safari isn't the prettiest pen out there, but it sure gets the job done.

Loving this pen since 1989! Using it every day at my job.

I write a lot for work and journal as well. I’ve tried many pens but most of the time my hand cramps up because the pen is either too heavy or too thin. This one hits the best for both. It’s light weight and not very thin at all. I like the triangular rip too. It really helps. I’m up in the air about gel pens so this being a ball point is what i definitely like. Refills don’t seem expensive at all. Not sure if I can get a refill at the big box office stores but plenty of selection here on Amazon.

I think I had too high of an expectation for this pen, perhaps due to the price and the other reviews. I expected this pen to write flawlessly with no breakage in the ink from point A to point B.. But using this pen for a couple weeks now I can clearly see that there are lighter ink points and there are darker ink portions of the writing on paper. Also, the first time you use this pen each day you have to scribble on a piece of paper prior to writing due to ink dryout (perhaps this issue, regardless of the type of pen cannot be avoided). With all that being said, the build of this pen is rock solid even though it appears to be made of plastic and may look inexpensive to many. The pen is also very comfortable to write with.

I love how this pen makes me feel I have a good taste. It also writes very well

Recebi a caneta em um pacotinho plástico "mequetrefe" e imaginava que receberia pelo menos em uma caixa ou algo mais "nobre" do que esta coisa precária. A caneta não tem NENHUM identificação de ser uma Lamy e acho que comprei "gato por lebre"!! Cuidado com este vendedor!

Absolutely loved this pen while it was in my possession. Great flow and feel. Unfortunately someone else liked my pen so much, they simply took it. Gottah love them pen thieves

Not at all. It just faded away in 30mins time and kids have to change pens in the middle of exams. Very very bad

Excellent writing experience.
