The Lamy 2000 fountain pen is the company's flagship pen, made of a combination of black fiberglass and brushed stainless steel known as Makrolon. As a piston-filling pen, it only uses bottled ink, and writes with a very smooth 14k gold nib. The pen barrel has 4 small ink windows, which allow you to see how much ink remains in the pen. The piston does have a large ink capacity, allowing you many pages of writing pleasure. The Lamy 2000 is so revered that it is on permanent display at the Museum of Modern Art and has won countless design awards.
It's easy to see why Lamy has kept the 2000 around for so many years--it just works. The medium nib is a bit wet (at least with Lamy Amazonite ink), but it has given me no issues with its supposed "sweet spot" on Rhodia or Mnemosyne paper. The 2000 is nothing flashy to look at, but I find its clean, unadorned lines quite appealing. Anderson Pens was a pleasure to deal with, and I recommend them and the Lamy 2000 fountain pen.
What a comfortable pen and a smooth writer. Love this pen. Love the quick shipping by Anderson Pens.
