Is it just me or does the lamy 2000 look like a F-22 raptor?

I'm sure it's just me, but if they made that hood black like the rest of the pen, I'd buy that pen in a heartbeat.

The hood is aluminum for strength and durability. Making it black would mean anodizing it, and science has unfortunately not yet discovered a way to keep an anodized surface from wearing away. I'll settle for it the way it is -- I like my 2000.

Sorry, I fail to see the similarity...and I like my 2000 just as it is too.

That's ok. At least you've got a cool avatar.

The Lamy 2000 does have an aircraft like look to it. I liken the nose cone to a SST Concorde.
