LAMY safari KURUTOGA inside: A Review of the Safari x Kurutoga Mashup

Japanese stationery YouTuber "Seasar Stationery" (1.05 million subscribers) reviewed the "LAMY safari KURUTOGA inside," which combines LAMY with Mitsubishi Pencil's "Kurutoga" mechanism. This article summarizes the content of that video.

About the product

Released March 13, 2026, priced at 4,180 yen (tax included). It takes the resin body of the classic "LAMY safari" and builds in Mitsubishi Pencil's "Kurutoga" engine, which rotates the lead slightly with every stroke. Available in four colors: Black, Vista (clear), Blue, and Yellow.

Specs

It weighs about 13g, measures 144mm long, with a grip diameter of about 10.9mm. It ships with a uni 0.5mm HB lead and a Mitsubishi Pencil S-type eraser.

What the video says

The video praises how well the safari's ergonomic grip pairs with the Kurutoga engine, and notes it's light and easy to handle. On the other hand, it points out the characteristic slight "sinking" feel of the tip with each stroke that comes with Kurutoga mechanisms, and that it lacks the "nib damper" vibration-dampening part found in Kurutoga models at this price point.
