I prefer these nibs over the regular Lamy nibs. They add just a bit more slickness to the tip.

Love the pen, it provides a ton of feedback, which is what I was looking for. The nib writes better than the safari and provides the premium feel that it advertises. The color scheme and design that allows you to have finger placement is second to none when writing long hours. This is my second Lamy LX pen!

Love it

My new favorite EDC pen!!! Perfect weight and fit in my hand!!

Newbie to pens, and I really am happy I stumbled across the Lamy LX.

The Ruthenium color is outstanding. Using the new Cliff Blue / Black ink cart, wrote smooth as all Safaris. Nice addition to my Safari collection.

I've use TWSBI pens for several years, so this is my first Lamy. Writes fantastic and looks just as fantastic. It is lighter than I anticipated also. My only caution is to be careful when unboxing. While it comes in a really nice matching metal tube, that time comes in a rectangle cardboard package with no ends. A soon as I picked it up, it slid out of the cardboard and hit the floor with a depressing thud. The pen was fine, but the metal tube has a big dent in it. So, hold on tight when you unbox! As always, Goulet Pens is the best at packaging their shipments. Top notch.

I have used Lammy a lot and your delivery was excellent thanks

I haven't used it too much but I love it! I got too many pens at once, but it's next in my rotation. I love the larger size and that it is all metal. I feel like it will be a bit more sturdy, no that there is a problem with any of the Safaris I have. It is a great pen and I look forward to many years of enjoyment.

This is my primary work pen and after about three weeks of continuous use I couldn't be more satisfied. I'm an operations manager in a manufacturing facility and attend many meetings and take many notes. This pen is a joy to write with.

Following this website not only for advice but also as a serious fountain pen reference. This is my first purchase but it will not the last. Thanks to keep this passion alive.

I own six LAMY pens. This being the newest one, I did not expect anything abnormal. I chose the broad nib, and it is a black one. My prior nibs are silver. This one constantly skips. I have owned fountain pens for more than half my life. Something isn't right. I purchased a new nib, and it seems to be working.

Comfortable grip, but the nib was not as smooth to write with as expected. Still, a good value; well made.

Have owned and used the Lamy LX for four months now. Overall, I've been very happy with the LX. It has met all my expectations maintaining the my Joy of using a Fountain Pen. The Pen feels good in the hand, is pleasing to the eye and gives superior performance on the page. If you have an addiction for Fine writting instruments, the LX is probably already in your collection. If not, acquire the Lamy LX without worry. It is Good!

Fortunately I waited to write my review of the LX-F pen. When I first got the pen it wrote finer than my AL-Star-EF nib and didn't seem to put down much ink. With some inks it seemed to dry out very fast. I was chatting with the folks at Goulet Pens and finally was sent a replacement nib. I chose the steel rather than the black thinking that might be part of the problem. Well the replacement came today and it flows and writes just as well as my AL-Star. I really like the anodized aluminum Lamy pens.

The performance of this fountain pen is excellent. The writing experience is so soft. The aesthetics are great, but being made with aluminium, if the pen fells down, the paint will be teared off. In general, the pen one of the best for begginers who want a little touch of luxury in their lifes.

Right away this pen wrote beautifully. Love the cool packaging. Now one of my go to pens. LAMY makes great writing fountain pens. Won't be the last one I am sure.

The pen is really cool looking and I was excited to start writing with it immediately. It came with a blue LAMY cartridge, which I loaded into the pen. Well, the pen wrote horribly and was unreliable. Finally ditched the cartridge, cleaned the pen and installed a new cartridge (black this time). Once the ink started flowing smoothly, which took some time, the pen writes very well. Luckily I bought a converter to use with the pen. I love LAMY, but the cartridges apparently aren't 100% reliable.

Have had several fountain pens, some custom made ones but this was by far the best quality pen so far. Better than some more expensive ones I've had.

I find it to be a very good pen. Others state it's nothing than a dressed up Al-Star. While I'll agree it *essentially* an Al-Star, with the anodized caps and clip, the nib, the heart of s fountain pen, is better, IMHO. Logically, it shouldn't be any different than the others, but I find mine is smoother and more consistent than the Al-Stars I also have. In any event, I like it better than my Al-Stars.

I felt a slight difference in the Lamy safari pens to this one. I loved the pen case that you get with it!!

The Safari is my first FP I bought, liked it alot, then the Visa,then the AL, Logo (you get the idea). Thought I'd get one in the LZ with an EF nib (these nibs fit my writing style). Inked it up with Noodler's "Red Black" and - am not disappointed. I find these nibs to work great on bristol paper for a nice clean appearance, still need to test other papers but I'm happy with that for right now. The triangular finger rest/grip does not bother me at all, I just find it unique with no adverse effect on my writing.Overall, I'm happy with the Lamy products. These pens are ideal for anyone, but like the humans we are, everyone has their personal preferences.

The LX is a fancier LAMY AL-Star, with all of the virtues of the excellent original and just a few differences (aside from the significantly higher list price):1. The section is darker plastic and the standard LAMY black steel nib has spiffy gold-colored trim. The parts are all interchangeable with the AL-Star.2. The aluminum surface of the pen is plated with a layer of metal that doesn't alter its size or weight but gives it an even smoother, some might say softer feel--it's like the tactile difference between Rhodia and Clairefontaine paper. 3. The manufacturer's description says that clip is plated to match, but it isn't--it's chrome like the clips on the Safari and AL-Star, which seems like a missed opportunity to be elegant. The finial is also brilliantly shiny; when I opened the pen my first thought was that they'd put a giant rhinestone on the cap. All in all I'd have liked it to be a little less blingy since the pen body is a darker color, but I've grown used to it.4. It comes in a matching cigar-tube-like case that I haven't found something useful to do with, but it's classy.One other thing to note about the Ruthenium model: every picture I've seen of it online makes it look like a dark silver color, but in real life it's a browner hue, I'd call it metallic taupe. It's an interesting and unusual color, but if you are expecting it to look like graphite (or actual ruthenium for that matter) you might be surprised. (Finding an ink to match it, if you like to do that, will be a challenge--maybe Monteverde Moonstone?)All things considered, a lovely pen like its siblings, but I wouldn't pay a lot more for it than for an AL-Star. Fortunately, it's now being discounted quite a bit.

This is my first Lamy LX and I purchased it for the additional design features it has above and beyond those of the All Star. It is a very well-made pen as you might expect from Lamy. I chose a fine nib although I usually use extra fine as my go-to pen. However, I found the writing to be very similar. The ruthenium color is absolutely beautiful.

This is my first fountain pen. I wanted something distinct looking and this Ruthenium Lamy LX hit the spot for me. Simple yet elegant design. The grip is plastic but doesn't feel cheap. Contoured and comfortable to hold while writing. The ink level window is a great idea and the wire clip is well made. Comes with a protective case in the same color and material (aluminum) as the pen's body. I prefer writing with the cap not posted but even posted it is not heavy feeling. Lamy hit a homerun with this!

The workmanship and writing quality of this pen belie the fact that it is under $100. It has a substantial feel in hand, and I find the grip section very comfortable and user friendly. Ink flow is excellent, and the nib is a smooth writer. The fact that it disassembles so completely makes it nearly trouble free, so it is an excellent candidate for a daily-carry pen. Practical, functional, and a pleasure to use.

I like this pen a lot. The basically all metal pen is light and very attractive. I have seen some poor reviews with quality control issues. My only issue is that I think Lamy has overpriced this 4 star pen. The ink flow is pretty dry which I like on cheap paper.

After inking it up with Diamine Oxblood, the only thing that comes to mind is red velvet. Writes smooth, and thick! Great material, and very luxurious pen.

It's the first Lamy fountain pen that I bought, so I was a little afraid that it wouldn't be up to my expectations. I always searched for an extra-fine nib fountain pen. When I opened the case, a beautiful case by the way, I found an exquisite and well constructed pen. And the time I tested, it felt like the pen I always searched for. I can't wait to practice copperplate penmanship with it.
