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.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
