Apparently it only uses blue ink though. Sheesh, life is tough. :)

Unfortunately there is no information about nib size

What makes you folk think it is blue ink only? Comes with a blue cartridge provided.... replace with any colour you like...

 

 

Or did I miss the pun?

Under "pen details" it does. To my shock and surprise, it's... medium.

 

Cheers, Al

 

If you really want, you can buy extra/replacement nibs from any good dealer.

 

The Lamy Z50 gold nibs run in EF, F, M and B and do about 70 Euro here in the Netherlands.

You could use these even on your Safari.

 

AFAIK Lamy uses the same type of nib on all their modern pens except the 2000

Sorry D.ick if my sense of humour confused you - I just think it's funny that WH Smith sells fountain pens, as if they are ballpoints, specifying the ink colour! You bet I would fire it up with ... Herbin Stormy Grey, perhaps? :-)

Too many pens, too little time!

      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
