The Lamy 2000 Experiment

[xeth3r41x]

162F is just crazy, O_o and I thought it was hot here when my house gets to like 82...

Haha, great experiment! Now you've got me looking at the Lamy 2K more closely as a potential future pen. And I'm beginning to worry that my collection is starting to get out of control!

Nice review. I love my 2000 because I can bring it with me anywhere without having to worry about ruining it.

Glad to know it survived...even more glad it was yours, not mine.

For the record, I've had the misfortune of dropping my 2000 from a standing position with the cap posted. Naturally, the front end of the pen being particularly heavy, it landed nib first. I'm a fairly short individual, around 165cm in height, but that was enough to irreparably damage the nib. Well, that may be an exaggeration, but it will need quite a bit of work done to restore it to proper writing condition. I opted to purchase a new nib and feed unit, but I'm holding onto the original nib to one day have it modified into a crisp CI.

 

Moral lesson? None, really.

 

Contribution to public knowledge?The Lamy 2000 is a tank while capped, not so much when uncapped

Oh wait, moral lesson: use a cheaper, steel-nibbed pen when writing in a standing position, haha.

Indestructible, yes, but I still baby mine.

It does feel bulletproof when its new.

well it blend... if it doesnt then it's a tank... SOMEONE SHOULD DO THIS WITH A 149 resurrecting thread
