These steel Lamy nibs are a joy to use. They fit most Lamy fountain pens: Vista, Safari, AlStar, Scala… (except the Lamy the 2000) but the steel nib would look out of place on a Dialog3 or an Imporium! The italic nib is a straight cut nib. I have a 1.1 nib in a Lamy Scala and it gives my writing a pleasant character but the font is not so big as too look out of place at a meeting. The 1.9 nib (which I bought) is a broader line and therefore needs a bigger font. I use this size for writing/signing certificates. The Appelboom service is excellent.
De punt op mijn LAMY vulpen was perongeluk verbogen dus het was tijd voor een nieuwe. Gelukkig is een nieuwe punt niet duur, snel te bestellen en ook nog makkelijk te vervangen met behulp van een stukje plakband. De nieuwe punt schrijft zoals ik gewend ben, en de zwarte kleur staat prachtig bij mijn pen.
I ordered two extra fine nibs, one chrome, one black. They did take quite awhile to arrive over the ocean. These are to replace fine nibs on original ordered pens. They are easy to replace. Unfortunately they weren't flawless. Note, the chrome one is using Lamy blue, the black nib, Lamy black ink. The chrome extra fine nib writing line was close to the fine nib it replaced, more like a fine-extra fine nib. The black extra fine nib was good for the line thickness, I.e., extra fine, but very scratchy. A tyne adjustment fixed that, plus some nib tuning. In addition, some brass shim work was needed to improve the flow. If I did not have the tools, the black nib would not have been usable. Out of 10 I give the quality at most a 7. I did not expect much for price of the nibs, but believing Lamy quality control via it's marketing and reviews, I thought both extra fine nibs would have been closer in their performance to each other.
Got the extra fine in black, and it’s a great nib, the nib was easy to change and it’s not scratchy or dry. It still writes nice and wet with the ink I use. I also don’t see the black coat on the nib wearing down and I write a lot so I would say sturdy nib and worth the price
