Default Day to day pen opinions

What do you like every day as a cheap, good fountain pen? snip


Jim,
I like the Lami Safari, and prefer the *fine* point. http://
www.lamyusa.com/safari.html. I broke one after a few years, sent it
back to Lami, and they replaced it for a nominal fee. Alternately, you
can buy replacement parts at a fair price online from Lami if your pen
ever breaks. They also sell ink-converters, if you prefer using
bottled ink instead of cartridges. I prefer refilling the empty
cartridge with bottled ink from a syringe. New ones list for $30, and
can be found cheaper online. The Lami Safari the best value in a good
writing fountain pen that I've found so far.
Best,
Larry
