LAMY joy Fountain Pen - AL black

nice pen for writing and calligraphy

I like the feel of the pen grip and the 1.9 nib is very smooth. I'm not sure it needed to have such a long barrel but it doesn't interfere in its function.

Silky and Consistent

To be able to go get the Lamy Joy or a Pilot Metro for these price ranges puts all craft stores to shame. The ink is rich and consistent, the pen on the page is silky with a 1.9mm stub, and it works as well after capping and putting away for a week as it does the first time you put in the ink cartridge. It's an outrageous upgrade from anything you can find in a local shop anymore... I think they make those pens out of recycled nails and sandpaper. The long, tapered shape definitely evokes quill-reservoir pens. Nothing fancy here, either - just plastic and a really good nib. Great for calligraphy. The Pilot Metro is little nicer for a gift (and slightly less).

Very Nice Pen

Easy to load cartridge and easy to use - I'm trying to get back into calligraphy and this pen is fits the bill
