The Lamy Safari has been a global bestseller since the 1980s — a pen that turned functional design into an icon. Originally created for students and everyday writers, it's become a cult favourite across generations. The Safari ballpoint brings the same design philosophy as the legendary fountain pen: robust construction, ergonomic comfort, and unmistakable style.
Built from impact-resistant ABS plastic with a self-sprung metal clip, this pen is designed to survive daily life — from pencil cases to briefcases. The moulded triangular grip guides your fingers into the optimal writing position, making long writing sessions comfortable. It's loaded with Lamy's giant M16 refill, which lasts significantly longer than standard ballpoint refills and writes with smooth, consistent ink flow.
What Makes It Good
Ergonomic triangular grip — guides natural hand position
Giant M16 refill — 1mm medium tip, extended writing capacity
Self-sprung metal clip — secure attachment, won't bend or break
Impact-resistant ABS plastic — virtually indestructible body
Anti-roll design — flattened shape prevents rolling off desks
Lightweight construction — comfortable for extended writing
Made in Germany — designed by Wolfgang Fabian
Who This Is For
Perfect for students, professionals, and anyone who wants a reliable everyday pen that feels good in the hand. Ideal for note-taking, journaling, or office work where comfort and durability matter more than status symbols.

Amazing!!!!! there is nothing like this store in Hamilton or even Auckland, speciality stationery and so much of it is Japanese, my fav! Very cute store. Penco, Midori, Supreme, Moleskine, etc. inside an old fashioned arcade, easy enough to find.

Tom stocks some of the best quality and designed stationary products you can find in New Zealand. His customer service is also top draw and excellent. I had a few issues with a pen I had bought, Tom offered some tips to help work through and after that didn’t work he offered some store credit to try something else. I would highly recommend and will be making sure to buy as much of my stationary products as possible from SuperKiosk in the future! Keep up the great work Tom!

Such a great find! Love their range - quality stationery you don’t see everywhere. Service was awesome—ordered at night, shipped the next morning, and arrived the day after. Will definitely shop here again.
If it skips, scratches, or feels like background utility, we don't stock it. Every tool in this kiosk has earned its place on our desks before it reached yours.
