The Lamy 2000 is one of those pens that feels right the moment you pick it up. The machining is exceptional—every seam is so precise that the pen feels almost sculpted from a single piece. What stands out most is how completely the piston filler disappears into the design; there’s no visual fuss, just a clean, uninterrupted form that feels both elegant and deeply functional. Paired with its smooth nib and superb balance, it’s a pen that makes everyday writing feel quietly special.

The Lamy 2000 is quickly becoming one of my favourite everyday carry pens. Since getting the Lamy 2000 with a double broad nib has been joy to write with. The only thing I don’t like about the Lamy 2000 is the nib seems to have a sweet spot on it. Other then that the Lamy 2000 is a great fountain pen overall.

I love my new Lamy 2000. It’s such a smooth writer. It’s a joy to write with. I normally go for bright colourful pens but i find it’s sleek design appealing. I highly recommend this pen.

I was in search of a workhorse pen with good ink capacity and a comfortable writing experience for extended sessions. I couldn’t be happier with the Lamy 2000 in an EF nib. The ink capacity is excellent, it’s super lightweight, posts beautifully, and the build quality is immaculate!

It’s an incredibly consistent writer and has much more personality than I expected from the nib once I got used to the writing experience. There’s a bit of a sweet spot on the EF nib, but it didn’t take long to figure out, and now I absolutely love writing with this pen.

I highly recommend picking one of these up—it’s worth every penny, in my opinion. As always, Appelboom is THE go-to spot for anything fountain pen-related. Thanks!

I bought my first Lamy 2000 in Pine Green, this is a wonderful pen. It’s very smooth writing and when you hold it , this is just outstanding.
AppelBoom is just outstanding. It reaches to me at just 3 days.

I got the 2000 as a gift for a friend. I know he appreciates nice things but didn't know if he used a fountain pen. Turned out, now he does. The Lamy 2000 is an uncomplicated, yet refined workhorse pen that looks good and gets every job done. It conveys writing elegance without distracting with ornaments or flashy design. A pen for penlovers and pen-newbies alike! I myself have two and the black one with an EF-nib is the pen I use the most!

I bought the Lamy 2000 with a fine nib few months ago. The nib is a hidden masterpiece with an old German style grind, which is very pleasant for the eye. It performs great, never skips. The only downside is that it is a very wet writer and more on the medium line width. It can be an issue causing bleedthrough on cheap copy paper, otherwise it writes smoothly. The body of the pen is a warm to the touch makrolon and it is quite robust (I have already dropped it on a sidewalk by accident and it left only a small scratch).
I love just about everything about this pen and I feel it will be my long time companion.
Also, I would like to thank Appelboom for an excellent customer service, great packaging and overall great buying experience.

This is a great pen. I now have 3 - one stainless steel, one medium nib, and now a fine nib. It might be the only fountain pen you'll ever need, and if you only ever buy one fountain pen, this is probably the one to get. The pen arrived from Appelboom amazingly quickly, within a few days of the order. I couldn't be happier.

I tried my 2000, and I decided to buy one for my collection. Now when is my possession it become my daily writer. Since 1997 I use my Pelicans in daily basis but this Lamy 2000 with EF nib is absolutely amazing. The second reason I’m in love with that pen is that it was produced in the same year as me, 1966!

This understated classically designed pen has an exquisite functionality. At first glance it looks like a simple fountain pen. But… the section and the piston grip are seamlessly joined to the barrel. The tapered section’s seamless join to the barrel allows for a long section where people with different sized hands can grip the pen, the brushed surface allows the pen to be held without slipping. It also holds a lot of ink. More, the pen is beautifully light weighted so that it can be used posted or unposed without back weighting the pen. Yet, the best thing for me is the 14k (m) nib which writes very wet and oh so smooth (like no other pen). I bought this pen as a gift for someone else; I was so impressed I am going to buy one for me.

My third Lamy 2000; my first two being a broad and extra-fine. The medium nib is a dream to write with. Glassy smooth, and lays down a wet saturated line. Piston and smooth and functional. Everything about this pen just works. Aa perfect everyday carry.

Also, excellent service and fast shipping from Appelboom. Pen arrived half way across the world in tiptop condition in short order.

I like this pen and think it has a good build quality at a decent price.
The one thing I would like future potential purchasers to keep in mind is with regards to the nib size. I bought an EF tip and wish I would have bought a 'F'. Err on the side of the larger size :)

I was given this pen as a gift by my son. It is a streamlined piece that is a good writer. It takes time to figure out how to hold the pen to get the effect I want. It has been fun to use and I enjoy using it. I can see how this pen has been in MOMA for many years.

Absolute topper! De klassieke tijdloze vulpen die ik iedereen kan aanraden. Mooi design en Ergonomisch zeer comfortabel om mee te schrijven.

Ik heb deze pen met een broad nib besteld. Deze schrijft “rijkelijk”, daarom raad ik de medium nib aan voor dagelijks gebruik

Review Title: Sleek and reliable pen

• Review Add on: 07-10-2020

Being pretty new to fountain pens, I was intrigued at first by the hooded nib, I did not like it that much. But I decided to give it a try after reading several reviews. It proved to be a good choice.
The balance and the weight (neither too light nor to heavy) make the pen comfortable to write with for prolonged periods, without tiring the hand. The grip section is good too, the "small ears" are not a problem for me.
The pen has written perfectly out of the box, it glides smoothly even on average quality paper. The ink flow is excellent, rather on the wet side. The medium nib is a generous one, tending to be broad, it is apt to emphasize the qualities and properties of the ink used.
I recommend this great quality pen at a fair price.

Excellent service from Appelboom, I will be a return customer.

Review Title: One of the best

• Review Add on: 22-08-2020

Simply one of the best pens out there. I was dubious upon reading the reviews about it, and it took me a long time to buy my first 2000, I then bought three more... This is not the flashiest pen but once uncapped,, it's a beautiful shape. It is light, holds plenty of ink, is comfortable to use (no, you won't feel the little "ears" holding the cap in place), is easy to disassemble and fully clean. I also own the steel version but ultimately found it a tad heavy for everyday use.
I shall add that Lamy offers second-to-none customer service, probably one of the best in the industry. It's like owning a Rolls-Royce, minus the price.
On a final note, always a pleasure dealing with Appelboom, very responsive and helpful. It's my fourth purchase with them.

I already own the Stainless Steel version of the 2000 with a med nib.
The Makrolon version is a much nicer version due to it being lighter, with a perfect balance. I bought the fine nib this time as I found the previous medium to be too wide. It writes buttery smooth , gliding across the paper. Appelboom were very prompt in responding to all my correspondence, and the my order arriving sooner than I had hoped for . It was my first order from Appleboom and I most certainly shall order again.

There are a lot of reviews about this pen. All written and said about is pen is correct. cool design and less is more, writes great, workhorse, worth every penny.

If you are looking for a good looking pen with a gold nib for daily work (and more) you can't go wrong. I bought one with a Fine nib, as all my other pens are with a medium nib

Should have bought one earlier.

When my wife gave me this pen for our 10th anniversary, I was ecstatic. There smoothness of even the finest nib was awe inspiring, the sleekness where I can grip it anywhere comfortably is genius, and the ease of filling and cleaning is to easy. I'm already considering buying another, and I NEVER buy two of one type of pen. God bless you for reading

Review Title: Reliable Writer

• Review Add on: 18-01-2020
• Average Rating: (4)

How do you rate something that is designed to not be 'flash,' that values function over format?

By it's own criteria. This pen is a reliable writer that does EVERYTHING it is designed to do well.

DESIGN: bauhaus inspired simplicity with continuous lines has lasted over 50 year's (1966). I enjoy the Makrolons' feel, the precision, and its silver/black contrasts.

QUALITY: I have only had my pen for 3 years at this point but it has held up easily with periods of daily use. The nib is consistent and the body is tough, resisting detectable marring. The piston will need maintenance at some point but there are many videos online and the pen appears fairly easy to disassemble and reassemble.

OVERALL: Daily writer that can escape notice from afar, and feel special every time I pick it up. Good value for me and my use case.

Review Title: Reliable, smooth and captivating.

What else to say about this amazing pen that hasn't already been said? I am one to use an eastern fine / western extra fine, these sizes are quite notorious for being scratchy and have a tad more feedback than one might like. I own TWO in , so far it has been nothing but buttery smooth!

The hooded nib allows for the design of the body to be thicker towards the middle, while being thinner towards the ends, allowing people of different hand sizes, different grips, to be able to hold the pen however they like, comfortably! PLUS points for ergonomics!

Writing experience aside, did I mention the body is made from freaking Makrolon? It feels amazing in the hand, very warm to the touch, the brushed finish gives the body a little bit of texture which I enjoy very much. It really feels nothing short of premium.

Overall, I think it's cheap enough for someone who wants to venture in to the realm of gold nibs, yet getting a lot more premium features than the price would suggest.

The Lamy 2000 is a work of pure engineering and function. The balance on the pen is perfect and the feel in the hand is magnificent. It is light, but heavy enough to feel like you have a quality instrument in your hands. The ink window is very subtle, but does it's job well. The piston filler is quite smooth and the tolerances of the turning know are so minute that you can barely see that it's even there! The metal section in the front of the pen really makes for a comfortable writing experience (from a weight and grip perspective; helps to balance the pen and the brushed stainless steel does not get slippery). The design is an appropriate, understated, and classy look for any occasion. Lastly, even though the nib was not as fine as I was expecting, it wrote perfectly out of the box and is very smooth for an EF nib. This is definitely a workhorse pen for those who need something that will get the job done in style.

The Lamy 2000 is the least attention grabbing iconic pen to have in your daily carry. It's the pen you'd want to show off to those who understand, while remaining discreet to those who don't. It stealthily boasts of an amazing writing performance, impeccable build quality, and a luxuriously solid feel. The price? It's the best in its range.

The Lamy 2000 FP is an understated classic. The medium 14K nib is smooth and pleasant but the piston is not the best. It was sluggish out of the box and needed a bit of silicone to tweak. The Lamy 2000 is a daily workhorse pen that does the job quietly and efficiently. I am looking forward to purchasing the Lamy 2000 in the fine or EF nib.

If you are in the world of fountain pen then probably you have heard the name of it. This pen introduced in 1960, is still so fresh and versatile. From design to writing quality it is just phenomenal.
