LAMY abc Fountain pen - Red

This pen was suggested for my son by his headteacher, to help improve his writing skills. It's a great pen for children, incorporating a finger grip at the top, to help them gripit the correct way, which in turn helps them towards a better writing style. I was warned that switching to a fountain pen can slow the writing speed as the child gets used to the pen, so I bought this at the start of the summer holidays so that he could practice and get up to speed before going back to school in September. This plan has worked very well, as starting a new year is big enough without having to worry about a new pen too. My son has just turned 9 and really enjoys using his Lamy pen. I bought a second pen as a back up for when the inevitable happens! :)

I have quite small hands and find this pen really comfortable to use. It writes really smoothly, and is a joy to use.I know it's aimed at kids but I've not found another pen that's suited me so well. I love the LAMY pens and ink cartridges, and this is my favourite pen so far.

My granddaughter asked for a fountain pen for her 8th birthday. This was absolutely perfect for her. There are markings to indicate how she should hold the pen and it is comfortable for her to use. I thoroughly recommend this pen.

I bought two, one for my 13 year old girl and one for my 10 year old boy.They are both delighted with the open and it writes beautifully.My daughter is paying more attention to her letter formation and get work is looking much better.The only down side is that the call doesn't fit in the back of the pen and I'm worried they could lose it.Overall a great pen, would also suit those with arthritis or difficulty holding thinner barrels.

This pen was a reward for my 10 year old for completing all his handwriting books and achieving beautiful penmanship. It was important to me, as a tool that will be in daily use for long periods, that it be beautiful. It writes nicely and is easy to hold. He has great pride in his pen. But it is very expensive and so is the ink (it takes special cartridges). My daughter is eagerly progressing through her handwriting books, but I really doubt I will get her another pen like this because of the cost.

It dose NOT break

I bought this pen for my son that has moved to secondary school. He never progressed to pen at primary. He is left handed, so we opted for the left handed nib. This is a great pen, by a leading brand and is truly worth the money. My sons handwriting is neat and he is taking more care. i also bought the Lamy eraser as well, to help him with any mistakes he needs.Would definitely recommend.

Really nice starter pen. Beautiful build and tactile qualities, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from Lamy. I like to write with it myself actually, the beginner nib is more comfortable than the medium I have on my Lamy Safari. It’s a finer nib too.

***Aggiornamento***Mio figlio l'ha usata per più di un quadrimestre, sballottandola in una scatoletta di legno, con le cartucce. Normalmente le sue penne hanno vita breve, ma la Lami ha resistito alla perfezione, quindi veramente ottima. Logicamente, per via degli scuotimenti, qualche goccia sporca il pennino, ma senza fare nessun danno.La forma antirotolamento (anticaduta) funziona molto bene.Il sistema di sostituzione cartucce è molto intelligente, e permette il cambio senza disastri e in autonomia anche a un bambino (ma è ottimale anche per un adulto!).Le cartucce lunghe assicurano una durata adeguata, e sicuramente durano di più dei refill delle penne cancellabili, costando anche di meno.Consigliabile al 100%.***Scelta come prima penna stilografica per mio figlio che ne voleva una espressamente in legno.Molto leggera ma solida, con impugnatura molto comoda. Il legno del fusto è di rivestimento, l'interno è in plastica.Pennino ottimo che scivola molto bene ed è ben irrorato senza essere una fontana (inchiostro Lami nero).Adatta per un principiante perchè scrive anche se non impugnata con angolo perfetto (grazie al tipo di pennino A, pensato apposta per i bambini). Mio figlio riesce anche agevolmente ad usarla per disegnarci.Il pennino è in acciaio, rigido ma con una minima variabilità di tratto.Mio figlio ne aveva adocchiata una molto più da adulti, ma è rimasto molto contento anche con questa, perchè comunque trasmette subito la sensazione di "vera" stilografica.

Teacher recommended, very good for beginners 👍

Le même que dans notre enfance et je vis qu’il était parmi les deux recommandés en 2025 pour les enfants entrants au cpPlume À pour débutantY’a plus qu’à :)Toujours aussi solideMême design. Ça ils auraient pu le revoir un peu en 35 ans ! Mais ma fille adore le rouge, une chance

I got this for my daughter to incentivize her to learn cursive. I can't understate how good of a value this. It comes with name stickers, clear plastic label covers, and a cartridge. It feels so good in the hand and writes so well, I may have to get one for myself!
