I put together a short walkthrough video with the Lamy Studio Ruby Red. Goulet sells the 14K version as part of a set that comes with a Z26 converter and a bottle of Lamy Blue ink. (I suspect that the red lacquer finish is MUCH more durable than the matte finish on the Ruby Red, so I’d advise you to buy the newer pen rather than track down a Ruby Red on the secondary market.) Pen Chalet currently sells the Wild Rubin with a stainless steel nib) for $79, and Goulet Pens still has 14K version in stock at $164. While I’ve not seen it in person, pictures of the current “Wild Rubin” special edition Lamy Studio look similar to the Ruby Red, except the Wild Rubin has a glossy, red lacquer finish. Setting aside the aesthetic issues with the finish for a moment, this is one of the best-writing pens I own.

If you're up for spending a bit more money, I would recommend going for the gold nib. The Lamy Studio is definitely a legitimate player in the relatively sparse "best-fountain-pen-under-$75" product category, if you're looking for a reliable, comfortable writer that looks more "professional" than a Safari or an AL-Star. ![]() The cap posts securely, with an audible "click" that lets you know the cap is firmly attached. Personally, I like the section on this particular pen because the weight of the metal section offsets the cap when posted, giving the pen a nice balance while writing. If you dislike metal sections, you will probably find this pen slippery and difficult to grasp. It’s manufactured from what I assume is aluminum, with a smooth stainless steel section. The standard Lamy Studio with a stainless steel nib is a fixture on my “Top Pens under $75” list, but Lamy’s 14K nibs deserve more attention. This model is the “Ruby Red” limited edition with a 14K extra-fine nib that I picked up a few years back on the FPGeeks Classifieds section for $90. Have you ever put something down for years-whether it’s a pen, notebook, or something else entirely-only to pick it up later and think “what’ve I been doing with my time, that I would leave this sitting for so long?” Well, this week I had that experience with this pen, the Lamy Studio. ![]()
