Lamy nib guide.

The perfect nib for every style of writing

Fine, medium, broad? Oblique or straight? When it comes to nibs there are a number of choices and with good reason: every person's handwriting is different! Lamy offers the perfect nib for every style of writing and every preference. Discover how to find the right one for you in our Lamy Guide.

In principle you can combine your favourite Lamy Fountain pen with any Lamy nib to create your perfect writing instrument. The LAMY 2000 is an exception to this rule as it has its own special nib. Please ask your trusted Lamy retailer to swap your nib for you, particularly in the case of sensitive gold or specialist nibs.

Entry-level nibs

The beginner's nib from Lamy is the perfect choice for early writers: it's particularly robust and is equipped with a spherical writing tip. This enables it to glide effortlessly over the paper and promotes a relaxed grip. Discover all fountain pens

All-round nib

M nib (Z 50)

This nib suits almost everyone: the M nib from Lamy is an all-rounder suitable for most scripts and writing styles. This is why we equip our fountain pens with an M nib as standard. The secret is its rounded tip: no sticking, no scratching and a line that is neither too thick nor too thin. Discover all fountain pens

Left-handed nib

LH nib (Z 50)

Especially for left-handed writers: the LH nib has the same properties as the M nib – with a small yet significant difference: it is slightly oblique making it ideal for left-handed writers who frequently tilt their hand when writing. Discover all fountain pens

Individual nibs

Fine and broad nibs: EF, F, B, BB

Writers with a straight grip will feel particularly at ease with these nibs: straight nibs are available from Lamy in sizes "extra fine" (EF), "fine" (F), "broad" (B) and "extra broad" (BB).  Tip: when choosing the correct nib width the important thing is the size of your own handwriting: the smaller your script, the finer the nib should be. A larger script on the other hand will generally look better with a broad nib. (Z 50, Z 52, Z 53, Z 55, Z 56, Z 57, 2000-nib) Discover all fountain pens

Oblique nibs: OM, OB, OBB

Anyone who tends towards a slanted grip when writing should try out one of these nibs: "left oblique medium" (OM), "left oblique broad" (OB) and "left oblique extra broad" (OBB). These nibs are ideal for anyone seeking to "balance out" a slanted grip, or writers who value the variations in stroke arising from the particular cut of these nibs. The width of the selected nib should be matched to the size of the script here, too. (Z 55, Z 56, Z 57, 2000-nib)  Discover all fountain pens

Calligraphy nibs (Z50): 1.1 mm / 1.5 mm / 1.9 mm

Calligraphy nibs are also known as cursive or italic nibs. Rather than having an iridium ball, they have a straight, flat tip. This permits the writer to create a script with different stroke weights – perfect for beautiful penmanship. Discover all fountain pens

Premium nib

Whether for writing comfort or good looks: a gold nib always makes the difference. In high-quality writing implements it contributes to creating a refined and harmonious overall look. The 14 carat bicolour gold nibs from Lamy are part platinised and ensure a particularly harmonious and rounded script.  (Z 55, Z 56, Z 57, 2000-Feder) Discover all fountain pens

Special nibs

Gold nib – LAMY imporium (Z 57)

The 14 carat gold nib from the LAMY imporium series has a sophisticated black and gold bicolour finish. It has a striking design with no breather hole and has a PVD finish. This means that the pen provides an extraordinarily soft feel when writing.  Discover the LAMY imporium

Gold nib – LAMY 2000

Striking shape, 14 carat gold and a silver coloured platinum finish: the nib of the LAMY 2000 is as unique as the pen itself. Its tip is straight and creates a soft, harmonious script. This specialist nib is only suitable for the LAMY 2000 series. Discover the LAMY 2000

Stainless steel nib – LAMY Lx (Z 52)

The black stainless steel nib for the LAMY Lx series is a stylish upgrade to your writing implement. To achieve its sophisticated look it is polished, PVD coated and laser etched. It is available in sizes "medium" (M), "broad" (B), "extra-fine" (EF) and "fine" (F). Discover the LAMY Lx

Stainless steel nib – LAMY aion (Z 53)

A uniquely curved contour is the characteristic feature of the nib from the Lamy aion series. Its unconventional shape provides an expressive accent for your Lamy writing instrument. The nib is polished and gives a soft feel when writing. Discover the LAMY aion

LAMY studio

The special elegance of the LAMY studio demonstrates just how close design and art can be. The propeller-shaped clip accents the pen’s innovative form.

LAMY safari

Many attractive colours, timeless design, perfect ergonomics. These are just some of the reasons that the LAMY safari is one of the most popular writing instruments worldwide. Distinctive recessed grip guarantees writing comfort.

The smooth deep-drawn aluminium body components are the first of their kind and give the series a unique, harmonious appearance.

The LAMY 2000 has been writing design history since 1966. As a timeless classic it is still one of the most modern writing instruments today.

The scala series by LAMY is a family of writing instruments that entices through formal simplicity yet radiates emotional details.

Quality from A to Z

Quality for us begins right from production of the materials and individual parts used.

German Brand Award

Every year, the German Design Council awards the German Brand Award to pioneering brands. Lamy has won over the independent panel several times.

Genuine Lamy nibs that are direct replacements for the Lamy Safari , Lamy Vista , Lamy Studio , Lamy Accent , Lamy scala ,  Lamy aion , Lamy Imporium , Lamy dialog 3 , Lamy cp1 ,  Lamy linea , Lamy ST , Lamy Joy , Lamy Al-Star , Lamy nexx , Lamy abc and other models that are fitted with a Lamy slide on nib (not the Lamy 2000 models). Lamy Z55 nibs are 14k gold, other types are stainless steel (either steel colour or coated black).

For more information on nib sizes please refer to our FAQ page .

Lamy nib replacement is quite straightforward if you follow this procedure:

• clean and dry the pen
• take a piece of Sellotape 50-60mm long and stick it across the nib, ie at right-angles to the axis of the pen, with the middle of the piece of tape on top of the nib. Make sure the tape only sticks to the nib, not any other part of the pen.
• hold the pen in your left hand with the nib horizontal and facing to the right and the tape hanging down either side.
• put your right index finger under the nib and grip the tape around that finger by using your thumb and middle finger.
• pull the tape away from the pen, applying gentle downwards pressure to ensure the tape stays stuck to the nib. The tape will grip the nib and slide it off the feed (black plastic part).
• slide the replacement nib on by hand, making sure it goes all the way to the end (it will be quite stiff but you shouldn't use any tool).

If you are left-handed, just replace "right" with "left" and vice-versa.

Note: on rare occasions the nib and feed will come out together. Don't worry of this happens, just continue to remove the nib before replacing the feed in the barrel of the pen. When replacing the feed, look inside the barrel and you will see a little channel formed by 2 ribs. The rib on the underside of the feed slides into this channel.

Images for illustrative purposes only. Each nib is marked with the point size (eg F for fine, M for medium etc).

Lamy Gold Nib

By bayindirh April 4, 2017 in Lamy

Recommended Posts

I have a Lamy CP-1 black, with medium nib. I've bought it as a kind of grail pen, and I'm happy with it, but while buying I always thought I can upgrade it to a gold nib later on.

I have another pen with gold nib, a Sheaffer Targa 14K with inlaid nib and I love the feel of gold. I wanted to ask that whether Lamy's gold nibs worth the price difference. I mostly use Lamys and I smoothed many nibs during their normal usage, so I know that the steel nib is in fact very smooth and high quality, however if the gold nib creates a change worthy of the price, I'd like to upgrade that pen.

Durability wise, my CP-1 is my "desk" pen. It's living on my desk, not leaving home, but seeing daily, stable usage.

Thanks in advance.

I have 2 Lamy gold nibs. I bought a B that I have had ground to an OB cursive italic by John Sorowka, and a M nib. I use them both on Lamy Studios: the OBCI on a Studio Anthracite, and the M on an Imperial Blue Studio. The steel nibs are very smooth but I prefer the gold nib as I feel that it has a softer touch. For me, the incremental cost is worth it but that judgement is highly individual: one person's value is another's extravagance.

Thanks David. As I said earlier, I like the feel of gold and I generally write for long sessions. I will consider buying a medium gold. I actually like CP1 for its understatement and a white/gold nib will make it a sleeper pen.

Thanks again.

The gold nibs and the steel nibs of the "Safari" type can be exchanged.

If the price difference is worth it is a matter of taste. A regular steel nib costs about 5 EUR at my go-to shop, the regular Gold one costs 75 EUR. There are some special nibs in steel and gold that are a bit more expensive.

I have 2 gold nibs (M) on 2 different pens. They are extremely smooth, but I consider them rigid, which I don't mind at all.

I haven't tested the black nib on my Emporium yet (XF)

Thanks for your response. I'm after smoothness in fact. Flex nibs and other features doesn't interest me. I'm planning to buy the M nib too. I'm not aware of the specialty "gold" nibs, I'm only aware of steel A, LH and 1.x stubs and the normal gold, two tone nibs, do you have any info on these special gold ones?

In the end possibly I will buy a white / gold two tone M nib.

I prefer gold nibs. I prefer the tone of their feedback to that of steel nibs. So far I haven't persuaded myself to swap in any Lamy gold nibs to my Al-Stars or Safaris - but I'm really close to doing that.

I also prefer their feedback, with the flow and smoothness, however I'd be reluctant to switch a nib of a pen that I daily I carry in my bag. Because of that I will replace the nib of my grail pen, the understated CP-1.

The special gold nibs are the nibs for the Imporium which are about 10EUR more expensive. (Z56 and Z57, the standard gold is the Z55)

Also there are black steel nibs with a PVD coating (Z52) (regular nib is Z50)

Ah thanks, I'm aware of the black/gold two tone & considered this for my Black CP-1, however didn't know Imporium's nibs.

However since I like the regular white / gold two tone, I'll probably buy that one for my pen.

Thanks again,

I do prefer Lamy's gold nib to the steel.

However, for me the writing experience is not 15 times better, which is why I have never bought a a stand-alone Lamy gold nib despite having often though about it.

I know you can't reduce everything to a rational calculation, and I certainly don't. But playing the opportunity cost game is quite a useful exercise (i.e. what else could you get for that money, and would other things give you better value?)

(And if you keep your eyes open and get very lucky, you can sometimes find a special edition (e.g.) Studio fitted with a gold nib for less than the price of the stand-alone nib. It is very rare, but it does happen.)

I haven't yet tried one but some people say they have more character than a Lamy 2000 nib.

I have never found any nib to have much personality. They are fairly boring company at dinner parties.   Cheers, David.

Not always. Ply Jo Wo with drink and she's anybodys.

Thanks for your answer. You're right, that gold nib costs something, however the pen I'm planning to convert will be my grail pen and will be used for a long time. I'm not planning to collect pens, since they are much more personal and they evolve with you and they become a part of your hand.

I will be looking for that violet studio, but I'm not sure whether I'll be able to find it.

I do feel more comfort in the gold nibs than the steel ones. They offer some spring, without being flexy.

I would definitely recommend getting one.

Help? Why am I buying so many fountain pens?

I do feel more comfort in the gold nibs than the steel ones. They offer some spring, without being flexy. But anyway, asking the question is giving the answer, you know you want that gold nib for your grail pen, and you want us to provide you with an excuse   I would definitely recommend getting one.

Thanks for the answer. I also want the gold nib for the softness and smoothness. It's 6 parts excuse, 4 parts asking for expertise in fact.

Honestly, I generally have seen Lamy's as fairly priced not-so-special pens till recently, but observing how their steel nibs polish over time with normal usage shown me that they are far more refined than just being "fairly priced, good enough" level. I thing I've understood the philosophy behind their designs. Easy nib change, utilitarian, but with a very good feed and nib for the price. They're far more than they show and I started to enjoy them even more.

• 2 weeks later...

I have used the regular gold nib as well as the imporium type gold nib on the cp1. They both work perfectly. The gold nibs feel a bit softer than the steel nibs.

Thanks for the feedback. Are gold nibs a bit wetter or are they the same?

ink-syringe

  Thanks for the feedback. Are gold nibs a bit wetter or are they the same?

generally wetter.

I find the 14k gold push on lamy nibs to be outstanding. Soft, smooth wet.

People always ask if 14k gold nibs are better/worth it over steel. I always thought that if you tried a few, say, Lamy Studio with steel nibs and a few with the 14k nibs you would have a pretty good test right there.

I went through a few boxes of Lamy 14k nibs today at my dealer's. All were winners. Incredible consistency and quality. All wrote well, and also looked perfect under magnification.

(imo the gold nibs are worth it. they are a joy to use)

Looking for a cap for a Sheaffer Touchdown Sentinel Deluxe Fat version

Strombomboli

  do you have any info on these special gold ones?

From what I know, there are oblique nibs, i.e., oblique nibs can only be had in gold, since Lamy stopped the production of oblique steel nibs, much to my chagrin.

The width and firmness of the nib, combined with the way you hold a pen, as well as your choice of ink and paper, will determine how the writing style of your pen will look. Below are writing samples for different nib sizes of this pen.

One of two special edition colors for 2024 summer! This fountain pen features a glossy pastel teal barrel and cap, with a bright yellow grip, clip, and finial.

The LAMY  safari is a workhorse pen, known throughout the fountain pen community for its ruggedness, reliability, and no-nonsense functionality. The triangular grip makes it great for those starting out who have no idea how to hold a fountain pen, but it's used and loved by fountain pen lovers of all levels of experience.

The  safari comes with an interchangeable silver steel nib, which can be easily swapped out for another size. This fountain pen comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away.

If you'd like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter. Note: To ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.

FAQs about Fountain Pens

How do i fill a fountain pen with ink 8eda1617-f73a-4daf-8245-6d2bf4abeb7b.

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above. 

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

• Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here .
• Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
• Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
• Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
• Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here .

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

• How to Clean a Cartridge/Converter Pen
• How to Clean an Eyedropper Pen
• How to Clean a Piston Pen

How often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. 

Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

My pen won’t write! What do I do? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.

We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush , or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.

If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed. 

If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help!

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
