safari umbra - Fountain Pen with ergonomic grip & polished steel nib in size EF - ideal for any Writing & Calligraphy - including LAMY T 10 blue cartridge - Right-Handed

Very good fountain pen for those who knew to fountain pens. Excellent build quality. Good value for money. Smooth ink flow. Easy to grip and very durable.

Trying to spot the difference in colour between this umbra one and the charcoal one I have. Nevertheless these are great pens. I love the black nibs, writing quality, grip and ink window. Maybe the price point of these is a little high now with all the good quality Chinese imports for under a tenner. But still you can’t really go wrong.

It is great for beginners or pros trying to get the most out of their handwriting. It has a good grip and nib but after plentiful amount of use, it may feel rough. Although it doesn't change the fact that this is my favorite pen up till now.

ＥＦのペン先がほしくて購入。今まで３分くらい使いつぶしてきているので、安定の書き味で小さな字もしっかり書けるので満足！

İlk defa EF uç kullanıyorum. Başlangıçta çok tedirgindim. Ama kullandıkça M bile kalın geldi. Yazımı çok rahat.

Easy to change ink

This pen came overnight for $8. The pen itself cost $32. The price for shipping and products were the best. I couldn't choose a different colour but I could have ordered through Milligram in Melbourne if I felt strongly about that, but then I would be paying $50 + shipping. The pen writes like a dream!! So hard to find the extra fine nib. Pen takes T10 cartridge no problem. Very happy 😊

The pen is designed very well, everything functions with a purpose from the snap of sealing the cap to holding it with the grooves fitting snugly in my large hand, the pen is plain but upon inspection you could appreciate the design. The nib is stiff and writes smoothly with no skipping and is always ready to write even if left capped for days, although this may vary with your ink. As clean as this pen is the fact that it does not come with an ink converter is troublesome and I would pay a slightly higher price point to have one included instead of scrounging around to buy another one separately. It is a good gift since someone new to fountain pens would probably still appreciate the novelty of writing with such a nice tool (especially if a fancy bottle of ink and converter were added). Personally I use this pen primarily for sketching with a wet maroon ink and skim over the sketches with a water brush pen for texture and shading, the pen isn't scratching the surface of the paper or skipping and leaves enough ink to smear. I'd almost say this is somewhere between an EF-F margin of sharpness. I will probably buy more copies of this pen in different colours, and wholly recommend this pen if you are even considering using one for yourself or as a gift. The Lamy Z26 Converter is what I ended up buying for this pen which does work but it did cost half as much as this pen so beware the total cost of pen, ink and shipping.
