Lamy Pico Ballpoint Pen, Chrome (L289)

First, I love this pen! I also own a Lamy Safari Charcoal Rollerball Pen - Charcoal - Model 317 - which I also love. But the Pico is perfect for several uses. I keep it in the console of my car. When I buy something in a drive through and need to sign a credit card receipt it is far better then the garbage pens they try to send out through the drive in window. When I need a quick pen to open and close with one hand to write down a number (not in traffic and with a hands-free phone though I know this is still not a good idea... better to pull over) the Pico is perfect. Then, there are the numerous occasions when I run out of the office and forget my normal pen (Lamy 317) and I grab the Pico. I love the chrome though as the reviewer says it will be slippery if you are planning extended writing. I don't think anyone plans to use the Pico for extended writing though it certainly would be up to the task. The chrome looks and feels very solid and sturdy. That James Bond look as someone said. I immediately ordered the medium blue refills. The included refill with mine was a fine point which is too fine for my taste. I also ordered the leather case though that was primarily to keep from losing the pen. Finally, I believe they would sell more of the chrome Pico pens if they would correct the description of the product. It reads "Lamy M22 Ballpoint Refill" when in fact that description is for purchase of the actual pen not the "refill." I had to read the description several times to make sure I wasn't purchasing a bunch of refills rather than the pen. I was still a little nervous. I've had mine for about a month now and have used it quite a bit. Though it does have an intricate mechanism for opening - and therefore I am fairly gentle when opening and closing it as all such products will wear out eventually - mine shows no signs of wear and I'm hoping it will give me a long life. I saw one review complaining about their pen breaking outside the "short return window of 30 days." I don't know where they got that. I went to the company website and it shows all their pens have a lifetime warranty. They just charge a flat fee of $9.50 for return postage and handling. I can live with that if I need it.

This is my 4th Pico. Why 4th? Lost the first one (quite easy to lose), a lot scratches and color scratched off on the second, third fell from the stairs and did not land great that the body was dinged in, thus cannot protract and retract, and is unusable. It's a pretty light pen and I still bought another as it is great to have in my pocket instead of searching for a pen, or having a regular pen that will stick out or poke me. Also great that people comment about it when I use it, not expecting something that doesn't look like a pen suddenly extends its form and turns into one. Handy pen in my opinion.

Great. good design and very convenient

Me gusta mucho el diseño de este boligrafo.

Buen diseño

I was expecting a longer pen size, it’s small, but at the end is very convinient. I do recommend it .

Muy buen producto

Lamy Pico Chrome Ballpoint Pen - L289 is a very good pen, small, with no cap to loose, the refill last enough, and of course is a very beautifull pen. I already have one but I buy 2 more: one for just in case, and another for a gift. I have about six refills but they last more than I expected. They dont last the same as a standard refill, but they last enough. Also is a confortable pen for writing, have a very simple, practical and reliable mechanism for open and close the pen. I carry it in the pocket of my jeans. I think that the chrome finish is the best, is an elegant finish and dont show wear.

Kupiłem skuszony jakością Lamy. Faktycznie produkt jest wysokiej jakości ale po otrzymaniu przesyłki okazało się, że długopis jest mikroskopijny. w stanie złożonym ma około 8-9 cm długości. po rozłożeniu może 12 ? Nie nadaje się do normalnego, codziennego pisania duże ilości tekstu - raczej do podpisywanie, okazjonalnego napisania kilku zdań

good pen but i find it hard to grip since it doesnt have any grip. and the chrome looks awful in the long term use

Boligrafo práctico al ser fácil de cargar, mecanismo muy novedoso y se siente de materiales resistentes, excelente boligrafo para el día a día.

The LAMY PICO ballpen has become a true fixture in my everyday carry. Its compact design makes it easy to keep with me at all times, whether in a pocket, a small pouch, or a bag, without ever feeling bulky. What I love most is the balance between design and function. It feels solid and well made, and the smooth click mechanism gives it a satisfying and reliable feel every time it is used. Despite its small size, it writes comfortably and consistently. The build quality reflects LAMY’s attention to detail, and it holds up perfectly to daily use. It is the kind of object you reach for without thinking because it simply works and always feels good in the hand. Overall, the LAMY PICO ballpen is a thoughtfully designed tool that earns its place in any EDC setup through reliability, style, and everyday practicality.

プロッターM5サイズのペンホルダーに収まるボールペンを探して辿り着きました。 事前リサーチではなんとか入る軸径では？と思ってたのですがかなりキツキツです。 ペンの軸径は12mm、ホルダーも12mmまでOKとの事・・・ ホルダーが革なので多少伸ばせばと思って現状は画像のように収まっています。 もう少し馴染ませれば普通に出し入れできそうです。 他のラミーは2000の4色ボールペンを持っていますがあれとは世代が異なるような作りではありますね。プラスチックが当たり前のように構造部材に使われているのでノックした時の動きに金属感がありません。 スムーズに伸び縮みする様はカメのような感じでもありますね。 Chromeは塗装ではなくメッキなので他の色より耐久性が高いのと剥がれてきても自然な真鍮色との融合が得られそうです。 デザインと機構に寄せて使い勝手はダメかと思いきや、重心は真ん中辺りでちょうど良いし、親指と人差し指の水かき部分へ違和感があるかと思いきや段差が僅かなので全く気にならず筆記できます。 ロゴ部分がグリップサポートしたり、転がり防止したり、ペン先が細くなってみやすかったり、芯ブレがほとんどなかったりと細かいところまで機能デザインが行き渡ってます。 リフィルは標準がM（中字）です。 替えにはF（細字）もあります。 中字の方が粘性の高いインクでは滑らかさが感じられるのですが、小さい手帳に書くなら細字の方が書きやすいです。 書いた感じは普通のボールペン。ジェットストリームリフィルが出てくれればメモ書きペンには最高だと思います。 kaweco special mimi がこの手帳には合っているのかななんて思ってましたが収まってしまえば丸っこい感じが可愛らしく、使えば普通のボールペン感覚だしなかなか良かったかなと思ってます。 ペンホルダー壊さないようにゆっくり馴染ませて使い込みたいです。 1/26追記 結果としてはあまりにキツキツなのは変わらずpicoの方が壊れてしまいました。 改めて書い直し、ペンホルダーはアシュフォードのマットストレッチペンホルダーにしました。 よくよく説明見たらプロッターのM5サイズだけ9mmまででした。12mmは厳しすぎました。 アシュフォードのは裏にゴムがあるため最大13mmで余裕でした。 Lamyロゴのでっぱりがストッパー役となってしっかりペンが保持されてます。 たまたま似た色もあって良かったです。
