Fountain Pen Review: Lamy Aion

147 comments

1. I filled by Black Aion with LAMY Petrol

2. I would love to give it a try with Noodler’s Blue Ghost. I got a small bottle and have been waiting for something nice to try it with. Would probably just try a little bit with that and move to Pilot’s Iroshizuku Take-Sumi ink.

   Also I’m a fan of the style of this new nib.

3. I think I’d fill a silver Lamy Aion with Pilot Yama-budo, beautiful shade.

4. I would probably fill the Lamy Aion with Lamy Vibrant Pink!

5. I would fill it with Lamy Turquoise.

6. I would start with Robert Oster Graphite.

7. J. Herbin Caroube de Chypre

8. I’d fill it with Robert Oster’s Blue Denim!
   But first I’d switch out the nib to a 1.1 mm italic…

9. Ooooo….I have some Diamine Grey Flannel. Or….hrm…..it’s got such a mid century modern look to it that I may want a really vibrant color.

10. Sounds like a good size for me! I think I might fill it with Montblanc Leo Tolstoy, because I really like blue inks.

11. I’d fill it with Shaeffer Skrip Brown. Thanks!

12. Thanks for the opportunity to win! I’d fill it from one of the numerous ink samples I’ve acquired … something bright and cheerful, like Diamine Flamingo Pink.

13. Birmingham Pen Company Cathedral of Light Blue

14. I believe, if I were to win, I would fill the pen with Organic studios Walden. Love the sheen.

15. I’d fill it with Iroshizuku Kon-peki. I’ve been so curious about these Lamys and also love the sleek look. Thanks for doing a giveaway. 🙂

16. Silver pen, I think I’d try the Noodlers Lexington Grey first.

17. Ill fill it with my new to me ink, J Herbin Eclat de Saphir.

18. R. O. Fire and Ice would be nice

19. Monteverde Olivine

20. I’d fill it with Noodler’s Navajo Turquoise – I love the contrast of a bright color with a simple pen

21. I’d go with my favorite red Diamine Syrah

22. J. Herbin Perle Noire, lefty power!

23. I love that this pen has some heft to it. I prefer a pen to avoid cramping and enjoy Lamy. It would be a great fit to pair with my Noodler’s Heart of Darkness ink for a first fill.

24. I’d fill it with Robert Oster Aussie Liquid Gold for a little pizazz!

25. Papier Plume Red Beans and Rice, my favorite red.

26. I’d have to fill it with Caran d’Ache Hypnotic Turquoise.

27. Probably my Diamine Marine since that’s the bottle I’m trying to kill for the ink bottle challenge.

28. Hey, Thanks for the review. I like the pen, even though I also have small hands. It looks a bit like the Metropolitan in shape. I think I might try to ink with my Coalsack Nebula, a cool lavender silver.

29. I would fill it with Private Reserve DC Electric Blue.

30. Lamy Turquoise for sure.

31. I’d ink up this beauty with my new favorite ink – Organics Studio F. Scott Fitzgerald Golden Orange.

32. Oh man… If I win, I would put any cartridge ink I could find in it just to start using it since I have never owned or used a fountain pen before in my life.

33. with EF nib. Lamy black is perfect!

34. I would fill it with Diamine Asa Blue.

35. thanks, i would use pilot blue-black since tradition.

36. Nice review! With that silver colour, I’d have to ink it up first with some Iroshizuku Fuyu-Syogun. This silver Aion and grey ink would really pair well with the Hydrogen Elemental Notebook when that KS campaign finishes!

37. I would use j herbin stormy grey!

38. I would use one of my favorite inks, Private Reserve Orange Crush.

39. Thank you for the review , I would love to win

40. If I won the Lamy Aion, I’d fill it with my latest purchase…KWZ Ink in Gummiberry.

41. I’d fill my Aion with LAMY Petrol

42. I’d fill my Aion with Robert Oster Jade. When I write with ink, the paper becomes a wall that I cover with vines that are preparing to burst into flower as spring ripens.

43. I would use Diamond Umber.

44. I would go with Diamine Brandy Dazzle Ink – Shimmering.

45. I would fill it with either LAMY Turquoise or Private Reserve Fiesta Red

46. I’d start with a blue, probably kon peki. Nice pen!

47. A fun, spring blue like Robert Oster Bondi Blue would look great with this brushed aluminum.

48. I would fill with faber carbon black and change the nip to black

49. I would rotate three inks, all Private Reserve. Velvet Black for drafting documents, Fiesta Red for editing documents, and finally DC Supershow Blue for signing those final .documents

50. I believe I would fill the Aion with Lamy Blue Black, or J.Herbin Cacao du Brésil.

51. I love the clean lines on this pen. I kind of wish they made the gold nib in that shape too. Have been interested in trying one out, might have to go find one in a shop!

    I’d probably Diamine Earl Grey, or maybe Moon Dust in it.

52. I’m still looking for a EDC pen for blue-ink, so I’ll probably put my Pilot Blue workhorse ink into this workhorse pen. Sorry it’s boring, but they don’t call it “work” for nothin’.

53. I would go bright, but still on the dark side with De Atrementis Cherry.

54. I’d fill the Aion with Organics Studio Nitrogen!

55. Pilot iroshizuku Yu Yake

56. I, of course, would put Lamy Petrol in it. What else would one put in a serious Lamy?

57. I’m loving DeAtramentis Magenta these days!

58. Sargasso sea, diamine.

59. Diamine Asa Blue. Thank you for running this giveaway!

60. I’d fill with Iroshizuku asa-gao.

61. I have Lamy blue black in my other Lamy pen, but I’d be tempted to make this an EDC blue.

62. This would look nice in my work notebook with Diamine Imperial Purple

63. I could use an EF pen for work.
    Monteverde California Teal… A good color for work, but not a standard black or blue.

64. I’d put Diamine Oxblood in it.

65. Waterman inspired blue!

66. My coveted Lamy Dark Lilac…would be a nice, professional pop of color!

67. J. Herbin Violette Pensee

68. I’ve got a bottle of Noodler’s Black Swans in English Roses that is waiting for a pen. I think this might be the one 🙂

69. Well, I’m just getting into fountain pens and only have one ink choice at the moment… but I have several different colors of Pilot Iroshizuku in my Amazon shopping cart, just haven’t decided which I will buy now and which I will save for later. I want to have an orange ink, so probably burnt orange or deep orange. Vivid purplish blue is another option.

70. My default is Noodler’s Heart of Darkness.

71. For an EF? Definitely Noodler’s Bad Black Moccasin.

72. For an EF nib, I’d likely go with something nice and dark — maybe Levenger Raven Black, or (as would be appropriate) Lamy Dark Lilac.

73. I would fill the Aion with Noodler’s Blue-Black.

74. Lamy Petrol. So fitting.

75. So silly, but with silver pens I always use a teal or turquoise ink because those are the two colors of my office decor. Maybe with a free pen I could splurge on a new bottle, like Caran D’Ache Hypnotic Turquoise.

76. Since it has an EF nib, I’d use it for sketching, so I’d put a De Atramentis Document ink it, probably the gray rather than the black.

77. First ink fill? I’d probably go with Visconti Blue.

78. I think I’d try out Noodler’s Black Swan in English Roses!

79. I have to go with Lamy Turquoise.

80. My first fill would depend on whether or not I made it my everyday pen. I like a heavier pen, and I like brushed aluminum so I might make it my everyday pen in which case I’d go for something conventional like Pelikan Edelstein Onyx. If I kept it for more personal use I’d go with Noodler’s Purple Wampum!

81. Just recently started getting into pens, so I only have Aurora Black and Diamine Oxblood. I’d probably go for the Oxblood since I’ve mostly only used black in my other pen.

82. I’m obsessed with the LAMY special edition Vibrant Pink, so that’s what I’d put in there!

83. I’d put in Pelikan turquoise that I just bought a bottle of.

84. Montblanc Poppy Red would be a nice match for this pen.

85. Sailor Yama-Dori would be my first ink run with this pen. 🙂

86. I’d ink it with R+K Scabiosa

87. I’d fill with Sailor Gentle Green 🙂

88. Just got Robert Oster Caffe Crema, so I’d have to give that a try.

89. I’d fill this one with the Parker Quink I’ve been enjoying in my Safari. 🙂

90. I would fill with Kaweco Summer Purple.

91. Iroshizuku Shi-kai. Typically my go-to ink when testing a new pen out (plus it’s a great color!).

92. De Atramentis Sapphire Blue, for sure.

93. I love Diamine Majestic Purple. And I would love to have a Lamy. It has been on my “to buy” list for a while now

94. OS – Nitrogen would look great in contrast to the pen itself. I love bright inks.

95. Gris Nuage (J.Herbin) nothing better

96. Most likely, some Caran d’Ache Violet I was gifted at Christmas and have yet to try!

97. Diamine Sherwood Green, I think. Or I’d let my daughter give it a try with her bottle of Bilberry–she loves the finer Lamy nibs.

98. I think I would load up this pen with Diamine Blue Velvet. I’ve been wanting to try this ink and see how it stacks up against Iroshizuku Kon Peki.

99. I think I’d go with a nice stand-out color. Maybe the Lamy Dark Lilac, or the Diamine Red Dragon. Steel pens are a challenge for pairings though, because you can’t really get a silver ink to match, and I’m not sure what I’d call contrasting with that color.

100. I’d probably put a blue black, Aurora Blue Black. I feel like an understated pen like this needs an understated ink.

101. I would probably try Lamy Dark Lilac first.

102. I’d put in J. Herbin Perle Noire ink. Great looking pen!

103. My first fill would be with Noodler’s Heart of Darkness

104. The old stand-by – Sailor Yama-dori

105. I love Diamine Aqua Lagoon.

106. Noodler’s Apache Sunset would be my first ink of choice for this pen.

107. I’d fill it with Montblanc Irish Green, which is the most adequate substitute I’ve found for the late lamented Parker Penman Emerald.

108. Think I’d go with diamine oxblood

109. I’ ink it up with Rohrer & Klinger Alt-Bordeaux

110. This pen needs a black ink. I’d probably go with J. Herbin Pearle Noire.

111. I’m new to the fountain pen realm, and Lamy is one of the brands that catches my eye, this model would be a great addition to my starter collection. So I would test it with my go to inks: Parker Quink.

112. Lamy vibrant pink

113. I’d put Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Pek ink in it.

114. My first fill would be with Diamine Eclipse.

115. Oooh! I hoped I would get the aion for Christmas, but it didn’t happen! I would live to add it to my little collection and fill it with the new gorgeous Diamine dark purple anniversary ink you recently reviewed!!! Thanks for doing the giveaway!

116. I would fill it with Sailor Jentle Four Seasons Tokiwa-matsu Pine Green.

117. I’m a big fan of this pen. Iroshizuku Kon Peki, of course.

118. My first fill would be Colorverse Gravity Wave recently reviewed right here- what a beautiful color!

119. I would ink it with my main ink, Diamine Green Black.

120. I would say Diamine Blue Velvet, it’s my perfect blue!

121. Just getting into Diamine Meadow ahead of the start of spring!

122. I’d have to go with a bright blue like Private Reserve Naples Blue

123. I would ink with Diamine Oxblood. It’s my go-to ink. And it’s subtle enough to be professional while still being a bit different/stylish, which I think fits this pen well.

124. Have to be Bad Belted Kingfisher

125. Sherwood Green! For some reason green + silver has always done it for me

126. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I’d have to go with Diamine Red Dragon for my first fill!

127. I love to have this pen inked up with the now rare Lamy Petrol.

128. I’m not usually a matchy-matchy guy when it comes to pens & inks, but I might seek out a bottle of Diamine Moon Dust to load up this one. Nice pen!

129. It would be a great daily writer for work, so I’d go with a basic Noodler’s Black.

130. I’d put in Pilot Iroshizuku Shin-kai Ink.

131. Lamy Dark Lilac!

132. I find Aurora Black flows beautifully in steel Lamy nibs and for no particular reason have used Lamys exclusively for bullet journaling.

     Have to say Aurora Black then!

133. Pelican Turquoise is that ne of my favorite inks. I think it would look great with this Aion.

134. Iroshizuku shin ryoku

135. A nice, unpretentious but quality pen from a good company, Lamy. It’s on my wish list. An unpretentious pen deserves an unpretentious ink…Noodler’s Black.

136. I think it needs sometime slightly unexpected, and really bright, so I’d go with Organic Studios Emily Dickinson Posey Pink.

137. I think I’d like to try out my Pen Saijiki Gensoukai ink in this pen.

138. My first fill would be with Lamy Dark Lilac!

139. I’d probably use Akkerman #11 Treves-Turquoise as a first fill. I usually fill with a blue first, to test out how a pen writes.

140. My new favorite color is eau de nil, so I have to put Diamine’s Eau de Nil in it!

141. Diamine graphite would be my go to for a first fill.

142. Diamine Oxblood for me as well!

143. Noodler’s Tiananmen! I love that color.

144. I’m also going with Noodler’s Heart of Darkness.

145. My first fill would have to be Rohrer and Klingner Dokumentus Ink. Firsts need to be preserved, and this is no different, hence, a bulletproof ink.

146. I just got a bottle of J. Herbin 1798 Amethyste de l’Oural, so that would be what I’d use in this sweet Lamy Aion!

147. Since it’s Saint Patrick’s day this week, I would go with Diamine Apple Glory, which is becoming a favorite green for me.
