My first gold nib May 14, 2013
Reviewer: Rich S from Londonderry, NH United States  
I'm pretty new to the FP world, but I caught the fever and just surpassed the ten-pen mark (what's a guy to do with dozens of ink samples and too few pens?!)  After much deliberation (based on info from Brian's reviews), I decided on the Lamy 2000 as my first pen with a gold nib.  About a month later, I got an orange Pilot Custom 74, both M gold nibs.

I really like both pens, and as I rotate through my pen collection, I always enjoy the luxurious writing experience with either of these pens.   I am posting this review in the Lamy 2000 section because, in my opinion, it edges out the Pilot because of the overall writing experience.  Wet, springy, and oh so smooth.  I would not have guessed that I was such a smooth-a-holic, but that is what impresses me the most about this pen.

While the two pens have drastically different designs, I like them both.  The retro-futuristic design of the Lamy is neat, while the Pilot exudes quality.

5-Part history and review of the Lamy 2000 March 26, 2013
Reviewer: Bert from McAllen, TX United States  
I found this article after I received the 2000.  It's interesting to see all the internal parts that go into the making of the pen.

The hype is true! March 23, 2013
Reviewer: Ron Gilmour from Ithaca, NY United States  
It took me years of fountain-penning to get around to buying a Lamy 2000. I've never been impressed with Lamy's lower-priced pens, but the 2000 is completely different. It has a great nib, which is the most important thing to me, and it's stylish and ergonomic. You really do need one of these.

Very smooth nib! March 22, 2013
Reviewer: Bert from McAllen, TX - United States  
This is a very subtle appearing pen, most won't even notice it's a fountain pen when they see you writing with it.
Even though it came out in 1966 it still looks modern, especially the spring-loaded clip. It seems strong enough but while carrying it in my shirt pocket I kept checking to see if it was still there not wanting to lose a new $150 pen!  I'll be carrying it in my pants pocket in one of Brian's new leather pen sleeves.
The finish is a like a brushed metal finish; rough but still smooth.  It almost has a wooden feel to it.
Right out of the box I tested the Medium nib on some Clairefontaine and it was very smooth. With Noodler's Black I described it to Brian as the smoothest nib I have so far, "buttery smooth" I said.  It's almost like the nib wasn't even touching the paper, just hovering on a liquid ink ball bearing!
You hardly see or feel the two metal clips they're so small.
I definitely recommend this pen.

form and function March 4, 2013
Reviewer: Deacon Frank from Rock Hill, SC United States  
The Lamy 2000 is a classic of modern design.  Its graceful lines do not compromise its flawless function.  The pen feels substantial in the hand but remains easy to hold/use for long periods of time.

The built-in filling mechanism works well and holds a large amount of ink.  The nib is buttery-smooth and lays down more of a wet, broad line.

What I like most about it is the understatement.  This pen represents a quiet elegance that perfectly suits a wide variety of social settings.
