It's a shame Lamy don't make an all black Studio.

 

If you get a black and a steel one, can you do a bit of swapsies to make an all black one? And does the black grip from the steel match the black case? Or does it just look a bit rubbish? The all-steel studio that you'd also end up with doesn't look like it'd match well at all.

 

Any reports from anyone who's tried it?

SS, thanks for posting that link. I have a black Studio, and had been thinking about getting a stainless one so I could do the section swap. Then maybe add one of the black nibs to make for a nice looking 'stealth' pen. It's nice to see that the section swap would look good on both the black and stainless.

I wonder how easily one could turn a polished steel grip into a brushed effect to match the case?

You could ask about bead blasting or soda blasting the steel section at an auto body shop, but it probably wouldn't be worth your while. Never hurts to ask though, right? There may be a metalworks shop around you that could do it, too.

Arg, probably not worth the bother!

 

Anyone want to buy an all-steel Studio?

Look what our member Michael R. has to say:

Nice, thanks for that link. The all-black studio looks good. I'm not sure about the left over all-steel one though.

I would think you could just take some steel wool and work it over really good. Or some micromesh (one of the coarser grades) and give it that brushed look.

I've done this (using 1000 grit sandpaper) to a Studio section as well as a Bexley Submariner section. I only have a pic of the Bexley handy.

I will try to swap my black section tonight and let you know, but just this morning I tried swapping the sections from my chrome and my blue and it won't work unless you swap the caps as well. The chrome cap will not go over the chrome nib section. The chrome sections are larger od than the rubber ones. :crybaby:

Hey. Did the cap fit?

Very interesting - the black and the chrome will swap and mix and match either way - but not the blue. I just got the blue one from a UK 'bay salesman - NIB. Wonder if it may be a different year model or maybe the ones sold there are different - or are all the blue ones bigger? :hmm1:

Or could the blue one be a counterfeit? :yikes:

Maybe, it was Martin something or other and he sells quite a few pens. If this was a fake, Lamy better watch out, I have 4 Studios and this one writes the best. :roflmho:

More likely Lamy made some changes in the 2000 between different years of production (Parker 51 was made for, what, thirty-five years, and there are something like twenty variations, if I've read things right -- it happens), and pens in the same production run will interchange parts, but between different runs it doesn't quite work.

Lamy Studio Stealth

 

Saw this somewhere ... Don't know the launch date

Just when someone decides to mix and match, Lamy decides to launch it. laugh.png

      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
