An excellent introduction to the world of fountain pens, this gift set comes with everything you need to start writing right out of the box. At its heart is your choice of two of the most popular entry-level pens on the market: the Lamy Safari or the Lamy Al-Star. Durable, comfortable, and beginner-friendly, both of these German-made models are fitted with a flexible pocket clip, an ink-level window, and a medium stainless steel nib. And because a pen is nothing without its ink, the set also includes eight ink cartridges, with one each in black, blue-black, green, red, turquoise, and violet, plus two blue ink cartridges (one inside the pen barrel). Should you want to switch to bottled ink, a converter is also included.
