Review: Lamy 2000

Time for another pen review!

Up for review today is the highly acclaimed Lamy 2000.


As with all my reviews, I try to be subjective, and honest. Even though this is on my top 5 pens list, I still have some issues with it that we'll hit on this article.

Overview:

The Lamy 2000 scores 89%!

The good: 

• Really cool, award winning design
• Intelligent functionality
• Excellent ink capacity
• Extremely durable - a true survivor

The bad:

• Cap "nubs" can be very annoying to some users
• The design is either "you hate it or you love it"
• Piston can tend to be a bit stiff
• Prices have gone up recently

The Lamy 2000 is a pen that has been, and will continue to be at the top of my collection. Though recently pared down to only two pens, the Lamy 2000 remained in my fountain pen collection. Being a very picky FP user, that is saying something!

I highly recommend this pen to anyone who is looking for a solid/reliable pen to take with them everywhere. This is one that you can clip into your pants pocket, and not worry about it. It takes a beating, and it doesn't even show. The matte finish texture seems practically invincible, and it looks great too.

If you're in the market for a new pen, I see no reason that you should hesitate to purchase the Lamy 2000!
