Its sleek, all-black design is accented with a silver spring-loaded clip, delivering a refined aesthetic that feels as good as it looks. The body is crafted from brushed metal, offering a tactile experience that’s contrasted only by its grip.

The pen sits comfortably in the hand; it might be a tad slim for some tastes, but this slender profile makes it ideal for extended writing sessions without causing fatigue.

Now let’s talk weight—or the lack thereof. The LAMY cp1 Fountain Pen is exceptionally lightweight at just 18g. While some might consider this an advantage, others might find it impacts their handwriting and if you’re in the latter group, posting the cap will add a little extra weight for better control.

The clip is more than just a visual element; it has a satisfying spring-loaded mechanism.We also likethe ‘Germany’ engraving under the clip, a small but notable nod to Lamy’s commitment to quality. If you’re anything like us, you’ll also appreciate the nice ‘click’ sound of the clip-on pen cap, which feels both satisfying and secure!

Included with the pen is aLAMY T 10 blue ink cartridge, however you can also use the LAMY Z 27 converter with the cp1 fountain pen,giving you flexibility in your ink choices. Something to note is that whilst the ink capacity is decent,we feel the converter holds a bit less ink than the cartridges do. Cartridges do ultimately work out to be the more economical option, if that’sa factor when you’re choosing your pen / ink.
