Lamy AL-star Rollerball Pen Cosmic

The LAMY Graphite AL-star Rollerball Pen is a handsome and classic pen with a graphite finish that is understated and classy. Although the product is described as "lightweight aluminum ABS plastic," it is not as advertised- it is made of plastic. However, the weight and balance are perfect, and it is slightly larger than all-plastic Safari pens, making it great for large hands. The tri-lobe grip takes some getting used to, but it is very comfortable. The supplied cartridge writes nicely, and Pilot cartridge substitution is very easy. This pen was purchased as a gift and was well received, with comments praising its excellent balance in hand and smooth writing on different paper.
