Featuring the same body shape and ergonomic grip as the beloved Al-Star, the LAMY Lx fountain pen takes everything else up a notch—after all, the “Lx” stands for “luxe.” It’s made of anodized aluminum plated in your choice of gold, palladium, rose gold, or ruthenium, with the metal clip and all accents plated to match. The cap opens to reveal a stainless steel nib with a glossy black finish, and posts to add length and weight while you write. Along with an ink level window that lets you keep an eye on your reserves, there’s a triangular grip made of tinted transparent plastic that allows you to see the ink flowing through the feed. Your pen will arrive with a LAMY T10 blue ink cartridge, and can be refilled with more LAMY cartridges or with bottled ink when using a Z28 cartridge converter.
