Lamy Safari fountain pen
Entry-level fountain pen with a molded grip and swappable steel nibs
Most people's first fountain pen, German, plastic-bodied and hard to break. A triangular molded grip forces a standard hold. Nibs unscrew and swap between extra fine and broad, and the barrel takes cartridges or a piston converter for bottled ink. Long handwriting sessions are the usual reason to own one, since a fountain nib needs almost no downward pressure.
