I received my Lamy Aion!

Now this is a nice pen. The entire thing is metal (except for the converter but that's expected) and it's got this brushed, matte finish. The nib is an extra fine that is exclusive to this pen and it writes beautifully!

The cap snaps on nicely and posts as well. Considering there are more metal components in this pen than the Sheaffer, it is actually lighter than they are! I would say this pen is largely comparable to the Sheaffer 300 in most respects but the build quality is definitely a little better.

For smaller hands, this might not be the pen you would want as it is a little wide, though light. If you can deal with that, it's a wonderful pen and I wouldn't hesitate to swap Lamy's 14k gold nib onto it to make it a truly premium writing experience.

This pen will run you $70 USD, similar to the Sheaffer 300. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

That is a beauty. I like the pairing with the ink. Seeing it in hand it looks not quite as full as the 2000 but more so than the CP1. I may have to check it out. That price isn’t bad at all for a nice pen. And the color choices are solid.

Thanks for the write up!

You're very welcome! I'm glad it brought you value!

Some things to note:

This colour is a 2021 special edition and apparently it is being discontinued so if you want this colour specifically, I would pick it up as soon as you can.

The other two colours it comes in are a blue and black, both of which are pretty slick. I like the blue a bit better than the black in this case.

I like to pair my pens with their inks in one of two ways. I either match the pen with a colour similar to the colour of the pen or I'll match it with a complimentary colour.
