One of two special edition LAMY AL-star fountain pen colors for 2025! The LAMY AL-star is the aluminum big brother to the LAMY safari. The triangular grip section 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 mint green anodized aluminum AL-star features a translucent green grip section, black trim, and an interchangeable black 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.

Pretty but not a pleasant writing experience

It seems like a really well made fountain pen and is gorgeous on the outside. However the nub is quite scratchy. Feels like I’m writing with a pencil. I’ve noticed this on another Lamy Safari that I tried once, but I had thought it was just that one. I tried to replace the ink to se wig that helps, and now I can’t get anything to come out at all. Want to love this pen, but overall really disappointed.

Love Lamy Al-star and Lamy Safari Fountain Pens

I gladly recommend Lamy Al-star and Lamy Safari fountain pens to anyone. I have several. They are consistently excellent. I like collecting the various colors. I take my Lamy fountain pens anywhere. They are durable, excellent writers, consistent, fun to collect, fun to look at.

Great looking pen with black nib

Great looking pen with black nib. I got a fine nib which was a little scratchy for me. I got the mint color and inked it with Diamine's sterling green. Perfect combo!

Feeling self-indulgent on a budget?

"I'm considering this mint Lamy AL-star an early Christmas gift to myself. It's pretty and I deserve it." After shopping and wrapping gifts for family and friends, I like to indulge myself with a little something. A Lamy AL-star in a new color is perfect - useful AND inexpensive!

Another wonderful color and pen

The pen is a beautiful color. It is comfortable, and easy to find the correct posistion to grip without looking. And it writes beautifully. The fine nib is smooth and reliable. It's no wonder this pen is a classic.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is 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!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

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:

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.
