Am I the only one underwhelmed with this? I already have Safaris and Al Stars with a gold nib. Granted the colors are pretty, but I was really hoping for a new design.

You have SafariS and and Al StarS with gold nibs? Boy, you're loaded! Where did you find all these lamy gold nibs? They are not easy to get. If you have some spare ones, contact me!

 

Anyway, I am not convinced that they are just Al-stars with gold nibs. It must be something else.

What's special about Lamy gold nibs?

And are they this rare?

Lamy's gold nibs are really lovely. They are wetter, smoother, and a little springy compared to their steel nibs. They are rare because they are not sold separately anymore, at least in the U.S., and there aren't many Lamy models sold in the U.S. with these particular nibs. Special edition Studios have these gold nibs, can't think of any other examples.

Other higher end Lamy models also come equipped with a gold nib, but in general what cameeron331 writes is correct.

Awesome! I love the gold, the rhutenium and the palladium ones! I hope the price doesn't increase a lot.

You think they'd offer a gold on one of the Safaris. I guess not.

Wonder if they wanted a pen to match their phone...

I wonder if the Al Star Graphite will be discontinued

€50 I gather and a gold nib is an option......

 

A gold nib is an option for a Safari, too. Bit expensive, about 4 times the cost of the pen itself, but quite possible.

      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
