The LAMY Al-Star is a workhorse pen, known throughout the pen community for its ruggedness, reliability, and no-nonsense functionality. The triangular grip makes it great for those starting out that may not know how to hold a fountain pen, but it's used and loved by fountain pen lovers of all levels of experience. This grey Al-Star comes with an interchangeable 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.

I recently began writing with a fountain pen. I have purchased several pens and the LAMY quickly became my "go to" pen. It writes smoothly and the balance is incredible!
I really like Al Stars, this being my second. They're substantial enough, but not heavy (female, medium hands). The triangular grips are excellent. I prefer stubs, and Lamys are reliable, if not the most fantastic line variation. Changing nibs is easy. If you've contemplated getting an Al Star as a reliable EDC type of pen, at am affordable price point, give one a try.
