I do love the design of the replaceable lamy gold nib. It looks classy, functions well, and it's compatible and swapable with a huge portion of the lamy line.
Both are F size. The safari nib is very smooth amd has a little bounce. The lines it produces are a little thicker and wetter than the steel nibs. The 2k nib is wet, but because of the size i don't find it has that much bounce. It still is a very smooth writer though.
Two hooded nib cartridge converter Parker's - might be an interesting compare and contrast there that you could write for us after you have got to know the pens. Is the Parker 51 (2021) better described as the success to the Parker 45 :-)?
Jumping in to say that I’m happy you went to the trouble of getting a gold nib for your safari! I have a deep love for these pens. Who cares if they’re “cheap” — with a beautiful nib they are some of the best. 🙌🏽
Wow! I’m guessing it feels buttery soft and writes smooth like glass?
Yup, it's a very smooth nib. It just makes me want to write
Congrats!
If I ever buy one again it wil be a fine or extra fine, broad is fun to use but not that practical. The ink is pilot iroshizuku kon-peki.

I totally agree!
Could you compare both nib? I want to have both like you did.

Probably a Pilot VP with a F nib. The pen can be used every day and swapping the nib unit is easy.

That's a good idea! I might post a follow up next week when i have used both pens more.
Are these all kaweco sports?
No, the left one is a kaweco perkeo.
Beautiful! Do you see the barrel date code? It is under the
It's hard to see but it looks like AO 07
The fountain pen was assembled at Tokyo Factory, March 7, 1960. Rare.
Thanks for the info! I didn't know that.
Out of curiosity, did you eat the set after the photo shoot?
Yes, but don't tell anyone.
This is one of the discontinued inks, isn't it? :(
Sadly it is. I recently received this bottle and i hope it will last a good while.
Is this F nib?
Yes it is. It writes very smooth and wet.
Which is your favourite?
The middle one. (Parker Sonnet). I like that one the most because of the classic look and it feels well made.
Looks sharp! What's the middle one?
That's the Parker Sonnet
Challenge accepted!
Lol! I love the crab, it fits so well.
Haha thanks! That's the crab aquarium even, houses micro crabs lol
Awesome!
I have a couple pens that i rotate through. Currently i'am using a Lamy Safari with a 14k F nib. Otherwise i would carry a Parker Sonnet.
That is a very nice bokeh you have inthe background.
Thanks
So pretty! What nib size is it? M or F?
The nib size is M
Thank you. I always wondered that. I don't know about yours but my EF Safari nib is scratchy as heck straight out of the box too
Mine is not too bad, it's kinda enjoyable sometimes.

Actually Appelboom sells this pen with the gold nib and it comes the the more luxurious box. But yeah, I find safari's so much fun to write with.
No, mine does not do that. Maybe the grip is not fully screwed in?
A Pilot fan I see. What is your favourite pen?
Welcome to the hobby! The Safari is a good choice. I like the red color.
