The Accent is one of my favorite pens and for a while it appeared that it was on the way out, as certain models disappeared and few retailers sell it. So I was encouraged to see what looks like a new model on the Lamy corporate web site. It has an aluminum finish and a new wood grip:

It is also available with the previous rubber grip. A little web searching did not turn up anyone selling these in the US yet. I'll be first in line when someone does. If anyone gets one, let us know what you think about it.

I couldn't wait for this to arrive in the US, so I ordered it from Europe. It's a slight but nice variation from the palladium version. The aluminum body is a cooler color than the warmer-looking palladium and just a touch shinier. The pen comes with a choice of the older rubber grip or a new grey wood one which is very nice. Also, the Lamy logo on the cap appears laser etched rather than printed on. Here's a pic comparing the two:

Those look so nice! The Accent was discontinued here in the US earlier this year, but I wonder if they'd be open to bringing in these new models. I'll see what I can dig up! ;)

I am really sorry to hear these are discontinued in the US. After the 2000 they are much my favorite Lamy pen. (To tell the truth, there are days I like the Accent better!)

 

So what's going on with Lamy's US distributor? No more parts sales, not selling the full line, geez.

I do love the Accent and have three Brilliants (gold nib, black lacquer body) - I'm thinking this new wooden section would look good on one of those. I wonder if Lamy will let you buy them separately? That was always an option with Lamy USA in the days before they discontinued the Accent.

Too many pens, too little time!

The wooden section will be made available separately, don't know yet when.

 

I got my new Accent from Frank at Fontoplumo and it was a pleasure dealing with him.

 

amk, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only Accent fan here! Here's a link to a web site that shows all the models and the various grips, at least before the new one.

      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
