  • This is a review of most of Lamy's ballpoint pens. I have owned almost all of Lamy's ballpoints over the years (more than are featured in this video) so I wanted to do a full line review of Lamy's ballpoints.
    The the full articles: unsharpen.com/...
    The video covers:
    Lamy 2000 ballpoint - unsharpen.com/...
    Lamy Unic
    Lamy Pico
    Lamy Noto
    Lamy Econ
    Lamy CP1 Trio
    Lamy Scribble
    Lamy Aion
    I have owned and broke, given away, or sold off the Safari ballpoint, Persona ballpoint, Logo, Dialog 1, and a few others. As I noted in the video, I've never had a Lamy Pur.
    If you like these FULL LINE reviews please let me know!

    Thanks for a really good video. I use a lot of these pens at work, and find that some of them are really comfortable and well designed. My favourites are the Pico, the Makrolon 2000 and 2000 multi pen, the Scribble and the Noto. The newer M16 refills must have been reformulated as they write much better than those if 5 years back. The M22 is also a good refill. I think the 2000 multi pen is the best you can buy. Keep up the great videos!

    Cool...I got the black wood Lamy 2000 ballpoint at a steal price and quite enjoy using it. The M16 refill is “Broad” and the fairly heavy pen with the broad point makes me go this pen quite a bit, although I am mainly a fountain pen user.

    glad you gave the lamy 2000 the thumbs up as i just got one used which is still on it's way.
    Great video, as always. i agree with Ez Beaver that a rotring full line review would be great. and also for lamy rollerball full line. thanks!

    Cool video. I have no experience with Lamy. Almost bought a Pico a few years back, but the special refill was a deal breaker. I'd buy it if the Pico had a rollerball. I'd also like to see a rOtring comparison. Keep 'em coming.

    The Lamy Logo is the only Ball Point I have and gave it to my mom recently. It works really well.
    I recommend to test the Logo for a good reasonable price. It's an underrated pen for many people but I like it better than the Swift.

      Logo looks really good but very long front cone makes me to hold it really awkwardly. I use it along my almost 20 years old Rotring Freeway ballpoint but man, I still reach for Rotring more.

    I like the Lamy tipo because of the safety clip actuation. I'm surprised you didn't mention it. The mechanism allows using more standard refills, such as a Pilot Frixion refill. (I think that's a Pilot G2 format) If I remember correctly it originally came with a Lamy M66 refill.
    Anyway...
    I have seen this kind of safety clip actuation on a semi-cheap generic pen but I wonder if you know of any other nice pens with this this kind of actuation? (I hate ruining my shirt pockets)

    The honesty is helpful but also amusing that most of these pens your review pattern is "Here are the reasons this pen is hateable but I do have a soft spot for it" :p I get it though, My only Lamy ballpoint is a Safari with a medium refill and I enjoy the design but really hate the writing experience. I kind of want a pico and a noto just to play with the clickers.

    You forgot about the LAMY Studio. It's actually my favourite because it's shape is close to the LAMY 2000 but it's a full metal construction. I don't know if you have those in the US but I love them. And I love the Studio fountain pen which has been my daily writer for over two years now and still is amazing. But only in the brushed stainless steel finish, the coloured ones have very shiny polished grip peaces that get too slippery with longer writing sessions.

    not a fan of the taper on the lani's they look nice on a desk though, kinda like a sports bike without tank slappers theres nothing to hold onto when you're cornering, you can clear a gummed out roller by hitting it with a lighter for a half second to thin out the viscocity of the ink but sometimes they can't be saved you end up cooking the plastic ink well and could ruin pants or carpet with ink use caution.

    Why do you want to replace the M16 in the first place, I find it at least as good as the 0.7 JetStream ballpoint refill?
    I use Logos and Studios and they write smoothly (M and B M16s) so I don't have any need to replace the M16s.

    Somehow you have a lot of ballpoints from LAMY that I don't have and you don't have a single one I have :-) btw 'Made in West Germany' or W. Germany was used until in 1990 western and eastern Germany were reunited. Since then it's again just 'Made in Germany' I love how a lot of amazing stationery with a long history and heritage comes out of this country like LAMY, Rotring, Montblanc, Pelikan or Faber-Castell.

      @@unsharpen OIC I guess I haven't seen a Safari BP so I just assumed the only difference was the refill. So now I'm thinking the reason you didn't include the Lamy tipo is because that is a roller ball, not a ball point.
