Being a bullet, this pen is small, so bear that in mind if that\u2019s an issue for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Lamy Safari Fountain Pen<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/lamy-safari-fountain-pen\/103\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/yellow-lami-safari-fountain-pen.jpg\" alt=\"A yellow Lamy Safari fountain pen against a white background\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/lamy-safari-fountain-pen\/92\/\">Lamy Safari<\/a> is a wonderful fountain pen for anyone \u2014 from fountain pen newbies to those who use a fountain pen daily.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/lamy-z50-replacement-nib\/1450\/\">Lamy offers a fountain nib specifically for lefties<\/a>, called the LH (Z 50), which is available with the Safari or separately. It is very similar to Lamy\u2019s M (medium) nib, except it is slightly oblique, which tends to suit left-handed writers well \u2014 resulting in a reliable ink flow.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s a fountain pen you\u2019re looking for, you\u2019ll be delighted to learn that this is a very affordable option for you and it comes in a wide range of colours, too.<\/p>\n<h3>Schneider Breeze Rollerball Pen<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/schneider\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4909\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/schneider-breeze-rollerball-pen-pink-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Schneider Breeze rollerball pen in pink against a white background\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This rollerball suits both left and right-handed people and big or small hands. The ink dries quickly, doesn\u2019t smudge, and is erasable with an ink eraser \u2014 so any mistakes can be corrected instantly.<\/p>\n<p>If you like to make eco-friendly choices where possible, you might also like to know that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/schneider\/\">Schneider Breeze rollerball<\/a> received a Blue Angel award for its eco-credentials, including an environmentally friendly manufacturing process and a long lifespan.<\/p>\n<h2>The best inks for left-handed people<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/lamy-fountain-pen-ink-bottled-50ml-t52\/1333\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4910\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Lamy-T52-bottled-ink-blue.jpg\" alt=\"The boxed Lamy T52 bottled ink in blue against a white background\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We recommend using quick-drying ink in your fountain pen, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/lamy-fountain-pen-ink-bottled-50ml-t52\/1332\/\">Lamy T52 bottled ink<\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s a smooth ink and comes in a variety of colours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hope this blog post has been useful; if so, we may turn it into a series with further recommendations for our lefty friends.<\/p>\n<p>If there are other left-hand-friendly stationery recommendations you\u2019d like to see, let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With 10 per cent of the world\u2019s population being left-handed, it\u2019s about time the world acknowledged that one in 10 people write with their left &#8230; <a title=\"The best writing tools for left-handed people\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/pens\/best-writing-tools-for-left-handed\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about The best writing tools for left-handed people\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":4903,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pens","infinite-scroll-item","masonry-post","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The best writing tools for left-handed people - The Pen Company Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you a left-handed stationery fan?
