Review on πŸ–‹οΈ YOLAKIS Calligraphy Ink Pens Set - Antique Drawing Fountain Pens with 5 Ink Refills and 15ml Bottle Ink for Artists, Beginners, and Professionals (Green) by Tara Ford

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Faithful copy of the Lamy Safari, which does not pretend to be Lamy

Admittedly, this is a clone of the popular Lamy Safari, but honestly and does not pretend to be Lamy. There is no "Lamy" stamped on the barrel and "Miss Ya" is clearly written on the box of the blue version I bought. I love Lamys, I have 15 different versions, but this YOLAKIS Miss Ya product is good value for money (I also bought it on sale). The fountain pen comes with six cartridges of red, black and navy ink, along with a converter and 15ml glass ink. The superfine tip writes somewhere between fine and medium, but is smooth and scratch-free. The ink flows well with no gaps and rarely has a hard start. The pen's plastic body looks a little cheaper than the ABS plastic used in Lamy's Safaris, but feels solid. Overall I'm very happy with this purchase and plan to buy the pink and green versions when they go on sale again. This company does not sell this pen as a Lamy, but it is an exact replica.

Pros
  • drawing
Cons
  • dubious purchase by senior citizens
