The Lamy 2000 gets a shiny new coat

Now, we all know that the Lamy 2000 is one of the most popular pens around, it is so revered that it is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art and has won countless design awards, not bad eh?

But did you know in it's most recent branch off from the original design, its had a bit of an upgrade?

Unfortunately we are yet to see this in the flesh, but orders can now be placed for these, with expected delivery at the end of the September.

From what we've heard however, the response has been positive. Being brushed steel the pen and grip section easy to hold and write with, which you may not expect from a metal pen. 

The clip is coated in shiny platinum, with is a good looking contrast and is a nice interlude from the brushed steel body. 

The rest of the pen is pretty much the same as the normal Lamy 2000, it still has the spring clip, piston-fill mechanism and the 14k gold nib coated in platinum. 

You can take a closer look at it here, we'll check back in with a proper review as soon as we get our hands on one! 

Top 5 Lamy Pens

Now, as one of the most prolific pen manufacturers in the world it is difficult to narrow down their entire range to a mere 5 writing instruments that are the most note-worthy, but I'll give it a go.

2000 Stainless Steel- Lovers of Lamy have been waiting for this pen for months, and it's almost here, unless you're in the US then you could potentially already have it you lucky devils. Based obviously on the original 2000 Design, but with a few upgrades - re-engineered in a sleek, matte slainless steel. It is piston filled and as such can only be used with an ink bottle and not with ink cartridges.



 
Safari- Another of the thoroughbred old-school Lamys, instantly recognisable and in a bright range of colours is there a better pen that displays both excellence and value? Constructed from a sturdy ABS plastic and with a flexible clip of shiny chrome, it will certainly last you for the duration.




Joy- We have spoken about this recently when discussing italic nibs, but it's most definitely worth another mention. Easily one of the most reliable and durable calligraphy pens on the market. With the ability to give any hand-writing a look of elegance and technique, it's a perfect companion for any aspiring stylograph.





Dialog 3- If it's possible to have an alternative to the exquisite looking Lamy 2000, then this is it. Palladium finish and an outstandingly sleek design makes the Dialog 3 one of the best looking pens in the Lamy range. Well worth a look at!




Vista- As we've mentioned in the demonstrator post recently, everyone loves to be able to see what's going on inside their pen and for the price the Vista is in a class of its own.
