The LAMY Al-Star is a workhorse pen, known throughout the pen community for its ruggedness, reliability, and no-nonsense functionality.

The triangular grip makes it great for those starting out that may not know how to hold a fountain pen, but it’s used and loved by fountain pen lovers of all levels of experience. This blue Al-Star comes with an interchangeable steel nib, which can be easily swapped out for another size.

Comes with a blue LAMY ink cartridge so you can get started writing right away. If you’d like to use bottled fountain pen ink, you can also purchase a LAMY Z28 converter.

Note: to ensure quality performance, LAMY tests their pens as a final step in manufacturing. If you happen to see any residual blue ink, rest assured that this is normal.
