I love this post. It's really on point and thoughtful while still being amusing and just a tiny bit snarky. Full disclosure, I do own 2 L2Ks and do have some previous Chinese tribute pen to the Lamy. It's not oily, but does dry out quickly, which the Lamys never do.

Thanks! And having experienced both dry-out and oily, dry-out is preferable (if you have to deal with one of them).

One more reason: you want to be able to drop it without having a heart attack because you dropped the real deal!

Excellent point, this is a good pen for XTREME JOURNALING or any other note-taking sponsored by Red Bull.

Thank you!

Adding one more reason: you want a colored version of the Lamy 2000 but you think that doubling the price for the blue version is maybe definitely not worth it. (Note: I have both pens and love them both!)

That too! I actually wanted the avocado one but they didn’t have it in UEF.
