The body is pitch black with a textured surface across the barrel and grip section, catching light in a way that a plain gloss finish never could. Black trims throughout, including the clip and cap, keep the look consistent from tip to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the finish, it's the same dependable Safari. The body is made from impact-resistant ASA plastic, tough enough for a bag or pencil case without babying, and light enough that it disappears in the hand during long writing sessions. The barrel has two flattened sides, a small detail that stops the pen rolling off a desk and also helps you find the correct grip position without looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grip section itself is subtly shaped to guide finger placement, which makes the Safari a common recommendation for people picking up a fountain pen for the first time, while remaining a genuine daily writer for people who have used fountain pens for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe signature spring-loaded metal clip is strong enough to hold the pen securely to a notebook cover or shirt pocket, and an ink window in the barrel lets you see remaining ink at a glance so you're not caught out mid-sentence. The pen takes a Lamy T10 ink cartridge, one of which is included, or can be fitted with the optional Lamy Z28 converter if you prefer to fill from a bottle. The steel nib is interchangeable, so the pen can be adjusted to a different width later or swapped between users with different handwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength capped: \u003c\/strong\u003e138mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength uncapped:\u003c\/strong\u003e 129mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength posted: \u003c\/strong\u003e165mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel diameter: \u003c\/strong\u003e12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody material: \u003c\/strong\u003eASA plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNib: \u003c\/strong\u003estainless steel, interchangeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInk system: \u003c\/strong\u003eLamy T10 cartridge (included) or Lamy Z28 converter (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether it's your first fountain pen or an addition to a collection already in progress, the Meteorite edition offers the same reliable writing experience the Safari has built its reputation on, in a finish that stands apart from the standard lineup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"info-banner-widget-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"info-banner-widget-item-description\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/WEBFLAGS_GERMANY_125px.png?v=1613734597\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lamy","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":45535849611399,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":45535849644167,"sku":null,"price":49.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/LAMY_Safari_Special_Edition_Fountain_Pen_-_Meteorite_page1.png?v=1787713010"},{"product_id":"lamy-safari-special-edition-fountain-pen-meteora","title":"LAMY Safari Special Edition Fountain Pen - Meteora","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"info-banner-widget-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"info-banner-widget-item-image\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere's a particular deep purple in nature you see just before a storm breaks, or in the after-image of a meteor crossing a night sky.

Where the standard Safari has a smooth barrel, this edition is finished with a fine engraved checkered texture across both the barrel and grip section.

The triangular grip section, one of the Safari's most distinctive features, guides fingers into a natural writing position and is a large part of why this pen is so often recommended to people learning to hold a fountain pen properly for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNib and writing performance\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eMeteora\u003c\/em\u003e is fitted with a black-coated stainless steel nib, available in extra fine, fine, medium and other widths depending on your writing style.

The body is coated in a matte anthracite grey with a fine, almost granular texture underneath the surface, the kind of detail you notice properly once the pen is in your hand rather than on a shelf.

It's genuinely useful for anyone still developing their handwriting, and just as comfortable for adults who've been holding a pen the same way for decades. The body is made from robust ABS plastic, which keeps the pen light in the hand (around 18 grams) without feeling insubstantial, and the spring-loaded stainless steel clip is strong enough to hold the pen securely to a shirt pocket, notebook cover or bag strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rollerball takes LAMY's M63 refill, which comes fitted as standard in black, medium point.
