Stop throwing away plastic pens every week—this one uses bottled ink forever.

Why Not Just Buy the Cheap One?

Disposable ballpoints like the Bic Crystal or Pilot G2 dry out, skip, and end up in a landfill after a few weeks. The Lamy Safari is a rugged ABS body with a replaceable nib and piston converter that accepts any bottled ink. It writes reliably every time, can be disassembled for cleaning, and the nib swaps out if you ever drop it.

The Buy-Once Math

A pack of 10 Bic Cristals costs $15 and lasts 2 months if you write daily. The Lamy Safari is $30, plus $10 of ink lasts over a year. After 5 years, you’ve spent $45 vs $150 on disposable pens. Plus you get a writing experience that actually makes you want to write.
