LAMY Safari Fountain Pen 15th Anniversary Gift Set Review: Limited Edition Fine Nib Writing Set
Jun 02, 2026
The LAMY Safari is one of the most iconic fountain pens ever made — a design classic that has introduced millions of people to the joy of fountain pen writing since its launch in 1980. The LAMY Safari Fountain Pen 15th Anniversary Pen Pouch Gift Set celebrates this legacy with a limited edition fine nib writing set that makes the perfect gift for pen enthusiasts and anyone looking to begin their fountain pen journey. In this comprehensive review, we'll explore what makes this anniversary set so special.
The LAMY Safari: A Design Icon
The LAMY Safari was designed by Wolfgang Fabian and has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction — a testament to the timelessness of its design. Its distinctive features include a triangular grip section that guides the fingers into the correct writing position, a robust ABS plastic body, and a clip that doubles as a wire spring mechanism. The Safari is renowned for its durability, reliability, and the smooth writing experience it delivers at an accessible price point.
For many fountain pen enthusiasts, the LAMY Safari was their first fountain pen — the pen that sparked a lifelong passion for fine writing instruments.

The Anniversary Edition
The 15th Anniversary edition of the LAMY Safari features special design elements that distinguish it from the standard Safari range. Limited edition LAMY Safaris are highly sought after by collectors and pen enthusiasts, as they combine the proven performance of the Safari with unique aesthetic details that make them genuinely special.
The inclusion of a pen pouch in the gift set adds practical value and makes this an ideal gift — the pouch protects the pen during transport and adds a premium feel to the overall package.
The Fine Nib
The fine nib is the most popular choice for everyday writing, producing a line width that is suitable for most handwriting styles and paper types. LAMY nibs are made in Germany to exacting standards, and the Safari's fine nib delivers a smooth, consistent writing experience that is particularly impressive for a pen at this price point.
The fine nib is also the most practical choice for use with standard paper, as it minimises the risk of feathering and bleed-through that can occur with broader nibs on lower-quality paper.
Why Choose a Fountain Pen?
For those who haven't yet experienced fountain pen writing, the LAMY Safari is the perfect introduction. Fountain pens offer several genuine advantages over ballpoint and gel pens:
- Smoother writing: Fountain pen ink flows freely with minimal pressure, producing a smooth, effortless writing experience that reduces hand fatigue.
- Expressive line variation: The flexible nib responds to writing pressure, allowing for subtle line variation that adds character to your handwriting.
- Sustainability: Refillable fountain pens produce significantly less plastic waste than disposable pens.
- Personalisation: The wide range of ink colours available for fountain pens allows you to personalise your writing in ways that disposable pens cannot match.
- Longevity: A quality fountain pen, properly maintained, can last a lifetime.

- Fountain pen beginners looking for their first quality pen
