Something Similar To Lamy Cp1?


cwhite5

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for something similar in style, size, and weight to the Lamy CP1. The black is a deal breaker on the cp1 because it will "get lost" and the white is not particularly pleasant to me.

 

I realize this is a bit of a strange question, but thanks!

My pens: Two Parker 45s, a Parker Jotter, a Pilot Custom 74 smoke demonstrator, a Lamy Studio, a Parker Sonnet Ciselé, and a Duofold International Citrine

Try looking into these:

 

Lamy unic - similar to the CP1, not in production

Aurora Hastil - a lovely pen and a design icon but new ones are absurdly overpriced, try vintage

Montblanc Noblesse - not quite as pure a design as the CP1 but slim and a very nice pen, not made for some time

Sheaffer Targa - I don't own one but that might change sometime soon. Came in lots of finishes. Slim models more similar to CP1 proportions than the regular models but I'm not sure about converters for them.

A Lamy Logo. Not white, but steel color. Somes in stainless steel or brushed steel.

Good suggestion re: the logo. In a similar vein, there are also the pur and st, although these are not easily found in the US. Slim pens are largely out of fashion now so Lamy is one of the few makers with choices in this style. I was also confused about the OP's reference to white as a white CP1 has not been made for several years.

      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
