Nice review. I've purchased a few pens based on your good reviews. Fortunately, I already have this pen!

Well actually I am in process of procuring one more of these...

Awesome review Vaibhav!

 

I just got a Lamy Safari 1.1 and really enjoying it. Your review sparks my curiosity.

 

I wonder from a budget (sub $40) 1.1 mm stub nib head to head comparison between the ECO and Safari which would come out ahead? I think the ECO has the edge with it's piston filler from a value perspective, but from stub nib performance perspective which would reign as the top econo stub?

 

I may be tempted to leave hints around the house for my wife as to what I want for Christmas this year :) A new white ECO 1.1!

A good review of a pen that has piqued my curiosity since it was released. I may be in the minority in thinking that the design of this pen is more unified and pleasing than the clunky 580.

 

However, the real star of this review is your awesome handwriting!

Great review!

Mirrors my experience with this pen. I like it so much for daily note taking, I've now got 4 of them - all with slightly different shades of blue ink!

Thanks for the great review. I've had the same experience with my ECO stub. It writes like a much more expensive pen.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

The Eco has become my "go to court" pen because if I lose it, I'm not sick to my stomach, it doesn't run out of ink, and it doesn't dry out easily. I bought B nibs and had them stubbed, but I'm going to buy another one as a stub. It's a great pen for the price. Thank you for the wonderful review.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Thank you for liking it... While you are buying one more and at the same time I am actually writing for more colors to come in

Great review! I was thinking about buying one of these for awhile but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Seems worth it to me!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
