Lamy

2000 4-Color Ballpoint

$57.04

This might be my favorite pen of all time. It’s a multi-pen with four slots, and it takes what’s called a D1 refill, which is a universal small cartridge refill—you don’t have to buy just Lamy refills. I mean, Lamy refills are great; you can buy them. You can also buy Zebra gel refills, Uni-ball Jetstream refills, Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills; it’s just a very versatile pen.

It’s made of Makrolon; it's a fiberglass derivative. It’s light and durable. It’s got a matte texture to it that feels very nice. The combination of the Makrolon and the stainless steel trim looks understated, but at the same time, when you hold it in your hand, you can tell that it’s high quality. If you don’t want to use a fountain pen, if you prefer a gel pen or a ballpoint pen, this is a great option.
