​

The Lamy Safari is part of SKRIVA’s Everyday Carry selection because it represents one of the most dependable and thoughtfully designed introductions to fountain pens. It is practical, durable, and intentionally simple — a pen designed to be used without hesitation.

Manufactured entirely in Germany, the Safari reflects Lamy’s design‑led philosophy, where form follows function. Its ABS plastic body is lightweight yet exceptionally robust, making it well suited for daily use, travel, and long‑term reliability. The design is modern and purposeful, with no unnecessary elements competing for attention.

A defining feature of the Safari is its ergonomic grip, which naturally guides the fingers into a comfortable writing position. This makes the pen especially approachable for beginners, while remaining dependable for experienced writers. The strong spring‑loaded metal clip is designed to hold securely, whether attached to a notebook, pocket, or bag.

Chosen by SKRIVA, the Safari is a pen that encourages regular use — familiar, reliable, and built to last.

Safari vs AL‑star

The Safari and the Lamy AL‑star share the same design language, nib system, and overall writing character. The key difference lies in material and feel.

The Safari’s ABS plastic body is lightweight, durable, and ideal for everyday use — making it an excellent first fountain pen.
The AL‑star builds on this foundation with an anodised aluminium body, offering a more refined, premium feel in the hand while retaining the same reliability and ergonomics.

If you value:

• lightness, durability, and approachability → Safari

• a more premium, metallic feel → AL‑star

Both are designed to be used daily; the choice comes down to how you want the pen to feel.
