Lamy Persona Rollerball
The Persona was Lamy’s flagship model from 1990 to 2004 — an incredible run by any measure! It’s the direct descendant of Lamy’s current flagship, the Imporium. The two look remarkably like one another, with the main difference being the nib used on the fountain pen. The Persona was designed by the famous Italian designer and architect Mario Bellini, who is also credited for the Imporium
Lamy Unic Fountain Pen
While not many people have hard ot it, the Lamy Unic is an iconic pen. It was first released in 1984, having been designed by Gerd A. Müller, the man who designed the Lamy 2000 (the company’s best known pen), CP1, and ST pens.
The Unic was sold as a fountain pen using Lamy’s 585 (14K) gold nib or a black-coated steel nib. It was also sold as a retractable ballpoint pen, which is known for its telescopic tip. The Unic was never sold in a mechanical pencil, multi-pen, or rollerball.
The Lamy Unic fountain pen is no longer in production. It’s not known when the fountain pen stopped being produced, but it would be some time before 1997.
Lamy M16 Ballpoint Refill

Lamy Unic Ballpoint
The Lamy Unic is both iconic and under-the-radar. Released in 1984, the Unic is often mis-identified as it bears resemblance to many other Lamy pens, but it’s important to note that the Unic came before most of these other designs! The Uniq is a creation of Gerd A. Müller, the same person who designed the Lamy 2000, cp1, and st families of pens.
The Lamy Unic ballpoint pen is no longer sold, but it’s not known when production ultimately ended. We do know, from Lamy catalog data, that the Unic was sold until at least 1997. This year the Unic ballpoint was sold in all four models.

Uni Jetstream Edge
On October 3, 2019 Mitsubishi Pencil announced the Uni Jetstream Edge, the first “ultra-fine” ballpoint ever. This traditional ballpoint pen — with oil-based ink — has a 0.28 mm tip, a size which only gel- and water-based inks have been able to use so far.
This is an impressive innovation and will be a great pen for journaling.
