Pen Case For Lamy Safari Or Al-Star?


Tanzanite

Recommended Posts

I rarely bring any of my Lamy Safaris or AL-Stars with me because the clip is a problem in my pencases or rolls. They can not be closed and the rolls cannot be rolled. Have any of you found a case that works? Or is there a way to remove the clip? Perhaps a bit drastic.

One solution would be to sew one but I prefer not to.

Thank you for the links. I have a 2-pen Lamy case but it can not be closed.

 

I notice they do different sizes. What about the 'freebie' grey plastic soft case you get with the pen? Doesn't that meet your requirements?

I have a couple of pencil cases from JetPens that do the trick. One is the Nomadic which will hold 3 Lamy Al-stars without any pushing and shoving, and another two-section case with the tag "Moving Option" that is a bit bulkier but at the moment holds 2 Al-stars and 2 Safaris without any trouble.

I've got three Al-Stars currently residing in a Franklin-Christoph 3-pen fabric case. Tan.

 

They seem happy.

Is it common to get the plastic case with the pen? I have nine Lamy fp and only one came with this case. I don't think it will protect my pens but it is good advice to use it until I buy a better case.

Thank you for your help. I will look at these cases. One that takes four pens seems what I'm looking for.

I have found that if the inlay of the box is taken out, 4 of the Safaries fit perfectly into the box.

That's a nice Lamy box. I have never seen one of those. What model did it come with?

 

ummm. Sure looks like a Lamy 2000 to me.....

I have three Lamy Accent pens (two fountain pens and a "4-pen" multipen) that all came with that box. It fits into a supplied cardboard sleeve.

I ended up buying a Pelikan three pen case and my Lamys fits perfectly in it. I have saved your tips for future purchases. Thank you!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
