Lamy Logo,cp1 And Pure

Recommended Posts

Looking in some email stores for a new Lamy pen I found three models that look quite similar in the computer screen The Logo ,Pur and Cp1. The prices are also similar but not the same. All of them use the same nib and have a aluminium metal colour. Maybe one of the Lamy experts here knows the differences.Thanks.

The Logo has a spring loaded clip as well, but it is different (the clip starts on the top of the cap, not on the side).

 

I have all three. I've always used the Logo a lot as a workhorse. The all steel version is quite robust, the thread are also in steel. Mine is 15 years old.

 

I like also the Pure, it is the most comfortable for my hands. Not too thin, just perfect. But I've bought it just some months ago, so I cannot say it has been a long time relationship like the one with the Logo.

 

I have also two cp1, the black and the platinum. The platinum has a friendly soft nib in gold. The black has the normal steel nib. I tried it with different nibs but the feed is too dry for me. Maybe is a problem of mine. But though I like it aesthetically, I don't use it because of the dryness.

I have a CP1 with steel nib. Mine writes like a wet-ish Safari. While it's not in the workhorse rotation, it's my grail pen due to its aesthetics and quality. I really like mine.

Add to the confusion by including the Scala.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

I hate the logo, think it feels dramatically cheaper than the CP-1.

 

Nibs are all the same. CP-1 platinum is not really worth the price jump since you can just get a CP-1 black and the gold nib for another $80. I have both and really dislike the polished section on the platinum.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      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
