Lamy CP1 Fountain Pen Review: Minimalist Masterpiece?
ฝัง

- This is my Lamy CP1 fountain pen review ( amzn.to/2S76cJR ). The CP1 is one of Lamy's classic fountain pens and it's one of the top choices for fountain pens under $100. It's very well made and it looks super cool.
While I like the build quality of the CP1 and the aesthetics a lot, this generally isn't a pen that I recommend. For me it's a bit overpriced at its retail price (MSRP is $60) and it's a bit too thin at just 9.5mm in diameter. There are some design shortcomings too, like a small gap between the nib and the grip area, a small plastic ring at the top of the body (I point out the holes in the video), and a plastic section. The pen is also a bit on the short side when you are using it without the cap posted at a bit under 12cm. It's very light too at under 20g with the cap and ink and under 10g when it's just the body.
The CP1 is well balanced and writes well when the cap is posted. It will work with any Lamy nib. The black model comes with the steel nib where the CP1 Platinum ( amzn.to/2FXCh14 ) sells for over $200 but does include a 14K gold nib. In the past there have been brushed stainless steel and white CP1 pens, but the vast majority of them are black.
Note: I'm not 100% sure what the cap and body of the pen is made out of. Some resellers say titanium but that strikes me as a bit odd. What I think is that the pen has a titanium oxide black coating, but the materials aren't predominantly titanium.

Perfect Bauhaus style: it is simple and refined, its design was built around its function, less is more when you are looking for the beauty of something you need in everyday life.
The pen is NOT made of titanium, it's brass coated black using titanium oxide. Cool pen! Quite similar to the Muji.
Been my daily driver since 2015 with black-colored, EF nib. Awesomely subtle & minimalist
I have the same setup in use. also my daily driver since 2015! Love it! :D
I use Lamy Benitoite Ink which is insanely beautiful ;)
Big fan of your content but also the Cp1! It takes a place in my collection amung a couple of 2000's, safari's and a unic. Love the slim form factor and low key detailing. Not everyone wants to use a cigar to write with day in day out haha
I have about 99 bajillion Safaris, Al-Stars and Vistas plus a Studio, ABC, Joy, LX and Nexx. Until recently I didn't even know these slim pens were a thing so I now have on order a Logo, an ST and this, a CP1. The styling conjures up images in my mind of the Parker Vector, particularly in how they post. One day maybe I will get a 2000. I'm not addicted, honest, I can quit any time... :)
I own a stainless steel Logo. I just wish it had the same clip as the CP1. But seeing your review here I'm happy with the metal grip of my Logo. I find it feels like writing with a normal pencil, so I enjoy the slim section.
the recessed ring on the back of the pen is for the cap to click into when you post it.
Very nice looking pen. I love the classic design.
Nice Lamy collection! I have always had my eye on that except like you mentioned it has the same standard nib so I just keep using my safari.
But there is a huge difference in terms of the quality feeling. It really feels like a high quality pen! :)
My impression of Lamy pens: they come across as more "masculine" looking writing instruments. Since being introduced to Lamy pens, I've bought but two, a Safari fountain pen in white and a LX rollerball in rose gold. Had to "feminine" them up, so I went with softer colors. I can appreciate Lamy's simplicity in design which is always nice to have as a choice. Here's hoping the company will manufacture one that I absolutely love!
Whats the difference between titanium cp1 and normal cp1?
I have a lamy safari with an EF nib but i still had to flip it over to use the other side to make fine lines (I write really small). Would you say this nib is pretty fine or its still gonna take uptoo much space on a small grid paper line?
Jet pens says the body is titanium. I'm looking for a narrower fountain pen to fit in my Gillio planner pen loop. I use my Safari but it's too big for the loop. I wanted to see the size compared to other fountain pens. So thanks for the help.
The barrel and is probably 9,5 mm (just as you said), but the grip section is just too small with being only 8,5 mm thick. I would prefer 9,5 mm grip diameter and the grip section to be 7 mm longer. I would get a few of them if they would sell it as a CP1 large! I already have the normal CP1 and I also want to get the pencil and the ballpoint, though they are almost too thin for me to use them. But I just LOVE the design of it. And the German prices you mentioned are correct if you include the converter. The pen costs 32 - 34€ and the converter is another 4,50 - 5€.
Which problems do pens cause if they are as thin as the CP1?
If you get this on a European website, the prices are amazing. The lowest price I found was for 30.00 dollars. (Of course translated from Euros.) You do have to wait for a while when it's shipping and its probably pricey. I would recommend getting it from Amazon.
Smart! Good tip.
I'm interested in purchasing the pen for a friend; however, I've never had non-problematic writing with Lamy nibs, with the exception of the Lamy 2000. I find that the Safari's cap don't seal well which causes the ink to dry which causes hard starts. Does the CP1 cap seal tightly/securely?
You bought from ebay or what
I own this pen and I love it. Minimalistic and masculine, also it feels pretty much like metal (it seems like it is metal except for the grip). I am wondering if CP1 platinum
has the same design and if there is a noticeable difference with the Golden nib. I like M on my regular CP1 but it seems golden nib comes only in F and EF (at least in Sweden) - any reason not to use M golden nib?
You can buy a Lamy M size gold nib separately. Shop around on internet online stores.
A esta pluma fuente le sirven los plumines de la lamy safari?
Si!
Since I've finally had a great experience using a Lamy nib, I've got this pen on my list of things to buy. I would describe this pen as having a "unisex" look, not too masculine, not feminine. It looks like a simply designed everyday user pen. I like it very much. Can you say how much of a length difference there is, when posted, compared to the Zebra Fortia EM pen?
The masterpiece from Gerd Alfred Müller
As much as I love all of my lamys, they are all overpriced new. I pretty much always buy used.
Thats a totally different case in Germany :) The CP1 with the converter is a little bit cheaper than a TWSBI ECO. That’s because the ECO is a bit more expensive, but mostly due to the CP1 being cheaper. All Lamy pens are cheaper in Germany except for the 2000 and the once that are even more expensive.
That is a great pen
As per you which pen is better twsbi eco or lamy cp1??
And what about waterman hemisphere or deluxe???
one isn't better than the other, it's personal preference
Kindly send me LAMY CP1
