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

Writing with this pen is like writing with butter - it’s SMOOTH. I bought the medium nib and it’s so pleasant to write with. The ink it comes with is a pleasant blue, and it dries quickly! The body of the pen itself is molded for proper handwriting, and features a nice matte body. A great, easy to use pen for a beginner to fountain pens. Highly recommended!

This pen writes beautifully. Ive only used the cartridge so far but have the converter and ink to try soon. Im sure it will write just as beautifully with it.

I love this pen! ❤️ it writes smooth and is nice to hold. A good choice for a decent price; totally recommend.

I've kept my eye on this pen for some time and I finally saw it drop in price, so I had to nab it! First off, the Vista and the Safari are the same pen. The only difference is the vista is transparent, safari is a solid color. Pen wise it's the same exact thing. This next part isn't necessarily about the pen itself, but the packaging came in a plastic baggy and no box or official packaging. Honestly, I could care less that it comes in a box. The product itself was in un-used condition and how it writes is what matters in the end. I got the medium nib and comparing it with a few other pens, it's probably a true "Medium" and not like a pilot where it's really a finer tip than advertised. The triangle grip is probably the most "controversial" part of the pen. I'm someone who is in the camp of that I enjoy it. It's a comfortable grip. The metal clip I thought would probably be flimsy is anything but! That thing is rock solid! My pen came with a disposable cartridge installed, but again, I didn't get the official packaging. The ink flow is just astounding. Some pens that I own will sometimes "skip" or "scratch". I have yet to experience that with this pen! I'm not a fancy pen collector, with my most "expensive" pen being $35. This pen though just feels so high quality. One thing I have noticed is that I haven't smudged any of my writing. That's something I typically find myself doing. I don't know if it's because I'm using the disposable ink cartridge vs. my bottled ink (I bought a converter, but I haven't used it yet), but I attribute it to the way I have to hold the pen due to the grip. Overall, if you wish to get into fountain pens or you're already a connoisseur, this is an amazing writing instrument.

This is one of the most beautiful and smooth fountain pen I’ve ever used in my life. The medium nib is perfect for my journaling/lettering. It fits nicely in the hand without being heavy. The triangle grip really helps ergonomically so your hand doesn’t tire as quickly. It bears mentioning twice that the design of the pen itself is gorgeous. Sometimes simplicity truly makes a statement and this pen does that effortlessly.

Great pens but you need to package the pen so it looks gift worthy. Thus, i knocked off a star on my rating. I have two Lamy pens, have given one as a gift, and just received another that is intended as a gift. Come on Lamy, can't you at least put it in a nice box? It does not have to be fancy! Instead, I will be creative so it does not look as if my gift is an after thought. I know the recipient will love the pen; I certainly like mine!

In a book I read, an author mentioned how he will only write with these pens, so I decided to give them a try. Now I know why he said that! They write so smooth and are very comfortable to write with

Poor packaging- did not come at the very least wrapped in bubble wrap or foam. (There was a shoe print on the envelope, luckily it didnt break during travel). The pen cap is super loose (have a friend with a LAMY pen, and his has a tight cap fit). Lastly, writing felt fine the last week, but now the ink that came with it is leaking more than its supposed to. Will try to ask for a replacement or refund, because this is just sad for how much it is.

I’ve been using the LAMY Safari Umbra fountain pen regularly, mainly for note-taking and general writing, and it’s been a really dependable tool. The first thing you notice is the ergonomic grip. It’s shaped in a way that naturally guides your fingers, which makes it comfortable to hold for longer writing sessions without fatigue. The lightweight plastic body also helps — it doesn’t feel heavy or cumbersome, even after extended use. The medium (M) black steel nib writes very smoothly. There’s a nice balance between ink flow and control, producing clean, consistent lines without scratching or skipping. It works well on most standard paper and feels quite forgiving, which is ideal if you’re not constantly adjusting pressure or angle. In everyday use, it’s a very reliable pen. It starts writing quickly, and paired with LAMY cartridges or a converter, the ink flow remains consistent. It’s also quite durable — it feels like something designed to be used daily rather than kept as a display piece. The design is simple but distinctive. The matte Umbra finish gives it a more understated look compared to brighter Safari versions, which I personally prefer for a more professional feel. The only minor downside is that the grip section, being textured plastic, might not suit everyone’s preference, and the cap can feel a little firm when posting or removing. Overall, this is an excellent everyday fountain pen — comfortable, consistent, and very reliable. A great choice for students, professionals, or anyone wanting a dependable daily writer without fuss.

Nib was not smooth . Faulty product

Zazwyczaj wolę stalówkę F, ale ta M jest cudowna, płynie po papierze. Świetnie się pisze bo pióro doskonale leży w dłoni!

Si te gustan las estilográficas y la escritura, esta pluma es genial. Yo la uso en el dia a dia para escribir y tomar algunas notas. Los recambios están bien de precio y tienen una muy buena duración. La pluma se siente firme y de calidad.

Very good fountain pen for any age, including a teenager or older, and perfect for everyday situations. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is it’s a wee bit overpriced, but fountain pens are expensive anyway so quite good price for a fountain pen with that quality.
