I love my LAMY 2000. It's my favourite "workhorse" pen. I can write with it for long periods without any problems. I have other pens that, objectively, I like more - such as my Montblanc 146, Visconti Homo-Sapiens Bronze Age, and Pilot Custom 823. However, the LAMY 2000 is the pen I pick up when I'm planning a long writing session or if I just want to throw into my bag/pocket when I'm heading to work or even on holiday. Perfect balance of quality, design, price, and writing experience, IMO.
babe, wake up, new AWG video just dropped
This was exactly my thought!
after all these years!
The 2000 has undergone a few different design changes since 1966. It's mostly small things, like the clip going from a concave arch design to a completely straight one.
The 2000 was also revised in 2009 to replace the plastic threads in the section with metal throughout, as stress cracks were causing pens to break just below the cap ears. Those pens are easily differentiated from the newer ones because the black plastic extends all the way to the breather hole, meaning that the breather hole is made of black plastic on the older models.
Those older models with plastic threads and section innards are also significantly lighter than the post-2009 models.
I like the look of the Lamy 2000 but dont like the little bumps near the grip
Misleading title. The L2K has no flaws. It is a perfect writing tool that requires no improvement. All other considerations relate to personal taste, and that's not something that can disputed between people. Some like the snap cap, others don't. Some are put off by the metal protrusions near the section, others don't mind. Some like hooded nibs, others don't. These things are not flaws; they are part of the design. There are other pens out there to suit different tastes.
it’s a Lamy: it’s EF writes like a crayon - anyone with small handwriting, particularly us math teachers, is going to prefer a proper Japanese EF:)
@@anguswhite8233 my L2k is an EF and most definitely does not write like a crayon. However, as per my previous comment, a person's preference for how a nib writes is not a flaw in a pen, it's just a preference.
It is the pen I would want should I find myself stranded on a deserted island :)
Flawed looks. Flawless performance.
Great video. The history of the Bauhaus design and the people and buildings are very interesting. I believe the group were against the Nazis before WW 2. The Nazis closed the Bauhaus
The cap retainer nibs are a deal breaker for me personally. I'd be more interested if they used a slide on mechanism, like the E95S or the Franklin-Christoph Model 20. I've also heard that there is a substantially restricted sweet spot, which is unfortunate if true.
Agreed. The nib has sweet spot and the pen has to held more upright than many other pens to write at its best. I do not like the tapered grip much either. I think that the Lamy 2000 pencil works better as a design.
A great pen that writes perfectly but the minimalist design was just not for me.
I absolutely love your videos! They’ve inspired me to start writing with fountain pens, and my handwriting has improved so much. However, when I write, the page feels hard, and the nib gives a lot of feedback. Any tips on writing with less pressure for a smoother experience?

I owned a 2000 years ago. I found the nib to be too wet and the line is wider than I would like. I had an EF nib and it wrote more like a medium. Also, there is a sweet spot. I tend to rotate my mind and the 2000 does not accommodate my writing style. I would reconsider getting another one if Lamy has changed the grind on the nib.
Great review! What nib size are you using?

So, can someone ID the music that plays in the background during the intro?

The thing about my Lamy 2000 is I have to hold it at a very unique angle if I want it to write well, otherwise it skips!! Any suggestions?
probably a bit of practice, and trying not to roll your hand during writing
@@awritingguyAWG does it happen to you to? Or has happened to you?
Looks so boring. I own many Lamy pens, but I don't want this one. Greetings from Belgium.
Too bad that Lamy was sold to Chinese investors, I saw the news somewhere about a year ago. Don't know if they're made in China now.
I believe they have been resold to a French company.
The Japanese company Mitusbishi Pencil bought it in 2024.
@@ichirofakenamePelikan, was sold to Haemlin not Lamy. Lamy was sold to Mitsubishi Pencil
@@HistoricGentleman thanks for the correction.
@@ichirofakename no problem, I know you’ve been round for ages n ages so glad I could help
