Does LAMY make a nib holder for the Safari/Al-Star nibs?

 

I'd like to eventually have 1 of each size of nib, but then thought, maybe they sell a full set in a nice case? or sell a case/holder on it's own, but, not seeing one.

 

Does such a thing exist? if not, LAMY should make one... otherwise, I guess I can get a 7 day pill holder... I think they make 8 nib sizes, so, 7 day pill holder, 1 for each nib + the nib in use. Rather have a nice branded holder though. :D

I am not an expert on Lamy accessories. I put my spare nibs (Lamy and Goulet nibs) in the little 6 ml sample vials that Goulet Pens sells. I put a small piece of paper inside with the nib information written on it. I keep these in a drawer. I think a pill container would be fine too.

Actually, I have a few nibs from a dip pen that I did the exact same thing with.

 

I figured with LAMY, they'd have some sort of 'set' you could purchase. Odd having a nib system that's easy to swap without removing the ink cartridge or feed, and not expect people to want to buy the nibs as a full set.

 

Maybe I'll email them... maybe they just never thought of it. :D

Lamy has more than 8 different nib sizes for the safari / al-star: A, EF, F, M, B,OB, OM, MK, (LH) ,1.1, 1.5,1.9. This sums up to 11 nibs, excluding the LH nib because I assume you're right handed. However, I've seen those Z50 OB and OM nibs, but does anyone of you own one?

      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

      @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
